Ordered all of the wear parts to replace for my car. I found write ups on how to install everything besides these regulator arm rollers. Can anyone explain to me what the replacement is? Is it simple or do you have to remove anything?
Interior and Upholstery How to replace door window regulator arm roller
- Thread starter AnthonyA1234
- Start date
That looks like the part that is riveted to the regulator
arm and fits into the horizontal channel in the pics I have attached...
There is no glass in the door I took these pics from......
If your really really careful, I would think you could drill that out, slide it out of the channel, then slide the new one in pulling out the regulator arm to slide the " stud " part of the new part in the hole..... I would even cut down the stud just past where it comes out of the nut
The glass will fall to the bottom of the door, so you might want to stick some towels or wood in there to " set " the glass on OR have someone hold it for you while you do this....
DO NOT hit the glass with the drill bit OR let the edge of the glass hit any metal edges inside the door.... The edge on tempered glass is its weak point...

I just did it like 2 weeks ago.
Drill or grind the tip off the old one and install the new one. Takes about 2 minutes.
With that said, i did it, just i probably didn't need to and when i redid the other door panel i did not do it, i didn't see the point.
Same goes for the ssquare bushing that slides on that vertical shaft.

The aftermarket ones just have that threaded stud no rivet. Do you have to source a nut to attach it with or does it screw in?
Yeah, it's really not much of a project.
I have a milwaukee mini cutoff grinder, made short work of it and bolted it back in with an impact (it spins so you can't over tighten it).
I also cleaned out any old grease (that i could get to) and used silicon spray on everything. Can't say for sure if that's what you do, but after a little research that seems to be the thing. But research that yourself.

Another thing i did that made a notable difference was that when i put the door back together (i had the LMR door hardware kit) in the back lower hole for the armrest i installed a Nutsert instead of using the speed clip. I used an 8/32.
The mdf door backing is soft there and i found that a speed clip on it still let it move. So i drilled out the hole that was there to let the screw pass through frame and installed the nutsert. Now there is no movement of the door handle at all when you pull it closed.
You can't see the screw so it really doesn't matter if it's black.
