window guide roller??? Hey guys,
I need to know where i can get a window guide roller for my 98 camaro. It is for the rear track. I went to the dealership and tried to explain it to the guy, he had no clue so i turn to you guys. It is what holds the window clamp (what holds onto the glass of the window) to the track towards the rear of the car. It is a black round peice that slides up and down inside the track, and in the center is a metal peice that sitcks out and goes through a hole in the metal window clamp. I need that peice, and i believe it is called a window guide roller, now hopefully someone here knows where i can get one. Or at least knows what i am talking about so i don't feel so crazy. thanks.

No the regulator is the metal arm and stuff at the bottom. The post is asking about the rubber-like thing at the back of the window. If it fell out its at the bottom of the door. Just take off the door trim and put the rubber guide back into place. It just squeezes into place. There is no roller as far as I can recall. It is just a track in which the window slides up and down.

The dealer should be able to put up a picture of everything in that door BTW.
It sounds like a guide clip.

Thanks for all the input, but it seems no one really gets what i am trying to say. I think that i am unclear, but its hard to explain. I went to the site posted above and there was nothing there. Tom L Busby is right, it is the black peice that slides up and down in the metal track, but it also has a "rod" sticking out of it that hold the window clamp(which holds the glass) to the black piece inside the track. This is what broke, the metal rod so the window is no longer attached to track, so if I put it down it won't go back up correctly. I hope this clears it up a little more, maybe??? Man, i dunno. Thanks for all the help so far though guys, i appreciate it, and the people in this forum kick a$$!!!!!

There, I made a page, just ignore the rest. It is a pretty confusing diagram, but if you can pick out the part, I can give you name and number.

If it is connected at, or to, the bottom stuff that works like a lever and slides it is part of the regulator, and you will have to buy a new regulator. The the rubber stuff that I was describing bangs off if you slam the door too hard. The rollers you are talking about sound different, to me.

Ok, I will have to pull my door panel off and take some pics, of what i am talking about. I have looked at that diagram many times and have not been able to pick it out. Maybe i am just not getting it, I really am not that stupid guy, honest. So pics will be on the way hopefully tomorrow. Thanks again for all the help guys.

Gosh I would like to help but even with the pictures it doesn't jog my memory from when I had my door off. I guess that the track your pictures focused on is a track for the regulator (the term that GM uses for the scissors-arms that raise the window) and the black button-slider is a small part of the regulator. You can't buy part of a regulator from GM. I suggest you go to a junkyard and look for your part, but it may not be possible to pull it off the regulator without breaking it.

Does the roller button thing in your pictures connect to and through the window glass? I think that it does. If so it is part of the window not the regulator, and maybe you need to get a new window from GM, a windshield store, or a junkyard.

It goes through a metal bracket that is attached to the window, maybe through the glass, but i doubt it. Either way, looking at it earlier today I think that it may be part of the window, and i was afraid that I would need an entire new window. Anyone else have a cheaper answer?
