I was exiting the driver's door yesterday and window fell off the tracks. I took off the door panel and discovered the plastic window rollers were in very poor shape. Of course that is not very surprising given the age of the car. My question is, are these rollers interchangeable with other GM cars of the era. Has anybody tried using rollers from other GM's?

Could you post a pic?

I remember seeing that the rollers were similar to the ones the hardware store sells for glass showers doors. Can you compare it with one of those at the store?

Additionally, check the HELP section at the chain auto parts stores. I've seen various shaped window rollers for sale there. Usually manufactured by Dorman, an OEM manufacturer.

I just checked Rock Auto. They have them. Look under Universal Tools and Parts then click on Interior.

Great suggestion Otto.
Those HELP items are some of the handiest parts in the parts store.

I checked the Help section parts. They only to seem to have the rollers for later model Toronado's What I'm going to do is take out the glass and find the best match possible. I'll let everyone know what I discover.

Rivieras are identical - I just used the regulators from a 60s Riv to replace the manual windows with power windows in my car.

OPGI and other outlets have many parts to choose from:

Awesome thanks for the info.

I drilled out the damaged roller yesterday. It's amazing how such a small piece can have a big effect on the function of the window.

I got my new window rollers in the mail today. Hopefully I will have them installed by the end of the weekend.
