Default How do you install the Window Regulator Roller?

The one that goes on the vertical track to keep the window in the right position while rolling up and down? Mine fell off, and I don't know what you use to fasten it to the window... I got a new roller, but even my old one is fine :\ I was hoping the new one came with a bolt or something, but nodda I am OH so confused, and a little mad that because of this silly thing, I can't use my window.

You mean the roller that is attached to the metal bracket on the glass itself? I've done several window regulators but do you have a picture of what your working with by chance?

Ok, those are riveted on that metal bracket but the rollers are usually only availible with the bracket I thought. Hmm, Where did you get the roller from?

I can sympathize with ya. If you want to post up or email me with a couple of pix I can help you out. There *might* be a possibility that the hole where that roller goes into is wallowed out and you'll need a new braket piece. Either way the glass will have to come out along with the regulator to fix this problem correctly. Pm'ed you BTW.
