i would like to know it they fit too, i fixed a rear window with a slider for another car but no idea what car since my friend has a glass shop and we found one in his parts drawer, i have also seen a thread about using a kitchen cabinet drawer roller bearing from home depot

my drivers window now makes noise so that is also on my list to look at

I used closet door sliders, cut in half and bolted instead of riveted, been working perfect for years. Fixed 3 wondows for $3.

Its time for me to repair broken regulator rollers again. Could you tell us how you did this repair?

I am ordering these, they come 3 to a pack, enough for 1 complete window or 3 different broken rollers.

That's an interesting spin on replacement rollers. His page doesn't give much info on them. Seems like if it was legitimate, he would show the bits assembled on a regulator and talk about the assembly and gluing process and provide some info about durability.

I noticed that there are new regulator assemblies on eBay for $40 now (no motor)

Please let us know how these work in a Disco 1. I repaired my driver's window with nylon flat washers recommended in another thread and it is working OK, but these 2-piece rollers look like the best solution if they fit our tracks. (just in case another window on my 98 bites the dust in the future).
