My pwr window regulator isn't working right, so for $25 I'm going to put a new motor on it. The rollers need replaced on the regulator. Napa has different kinds- mostly with threaded shank and nuts to attach the roller , but mine are different- they're welded to the regulator arm. (2nd pic) Will the nuts on new rollers interfere with the regulator arm movement?

Can you take that regulator arm to Napa and test it with the new part to see if it will interfere ?
-
Can you tell us what is wrong with the existing ones? Most of these usually come as a pin you have to crimp spread to put them back on..

Two of the rollers are tight. They will roll, but they aren't free wheeling at all..the third one is loose and wobbly. I figured since the regulator was already out-- why not put new ones on. I tried to free the tight onesup- see how I staged all the sprays I was using? lol
That's what I'll do, Bake. Off to the parts store tomorrow.

you know these don't exactly "roll" right.
-
No, I wasn't aware of that. So maybe two are ok and I just need to replace the loose one huh?

How loose is it... As long as it was moving ok when you took it apart, I would leave it... If it was cracked, broken or worn on one side then I would replace them.
