    Hello All, am rebuilding my driver side power window and am looking to find the guide roller that is at the back side of the window mounted to the glass, not the roller in the front that rides in the short horizontal guide mounted to the front of the glass. This one is at the back and I was having trouble with it as the roller keeped disconnecting from the stud ball.
    I have purchased what I thought was correct and it is wrong. The one that is in there now is a total length of 1-5/8" long the replacement I got is 1-3/8 long.
    Is it many be the roller that was in there is wrong, or does anyone know where to get the correct one?
    The below picture, the top is the roller I took out the bottom is the one I purchased from the Parts place #GL12847Z
    Thanks in advance for any help

    The bottom is for a Chevelle, I believe. I'm running into the same thing on the pass. side. I'm going to use a 1/4" x 20 coupling nut, trimmed down to 1/2" as a spacer to get the correct length. Lowe's Item # 423533 Model # 884662 (https://www.lowes.com/pd/Hillman-20...-Stainless-Steel-Regular-Coupling-Nut/3903356) or McCaster 1/4"-20, 7/8" length 90268A029 (https://www.mcmaster.com/hex-coupling-nuts/stainless-steel-coupling-nuts/) should do it. I'll post when it's done, hopefully next week.
