I pulled apart the right, rear door panel. The window falls, but you can hear the motor going. I know absolutely squat about this...the arm does not have roller on the piece that goes into the track (just a metal piece on the end of the arm) and I've read that I can pick up a slide from Home Depot. How do I replace it and how do I pop the roller back into the track? Do I have to take out the glass?? I didn't seen anything in the RAVE. It's unusually nice outside today and I'd like to wrap this up asap.

As always, thank you.

I was able to slice the slide from center hole to one edge, which allowed it to pop over the stud, then fit inside channel where the split is held together by the top and bottom edge of channel. I am not sure if you could do this without removing the regulator, but the glass does not need to come out.

 

For star iff u look in the botton of ur door pullout the white broken roller then take the whole regulator out of the door and take it to the trash ... u cant replace. just the roller u gotta go to advanved or napa and order a new one not to high cheapest place i found and put it back in just the same way u too em out

 

The glass unbolts from the regulator, once unbolted push the glass all the way up and tape over the frame to hold the glass up, I used masking tape so as not to leave to much residue on the glass.
Remove the regulator from the door, unplug it, now you can work on it easier.
Get your new roller, you should be able to push the regulator all the way down and the broken roller pin should come out of the end of the roller guide.
Pop your new roller on the pin, put it back into the track.
Plug the regulator back in and operate it to make sure all is well.
Then put it back in the door.
Take notes on how you took it out, when I fixed my front door regulator I spent more time putting the damn thing back than fixing it because I was doing it wrong.
Its not hard if you do it right, they actually put guide holes in the door to help line things up.
I also lubed my roller tracks to maybe help the rollers last longer.

 

FYI I used 1" nylon washers (not nearly as good a fix) cause Home Depot doesnt carry those square slideglides in stores anymore. At least not in the mpls metro area. You can still order them online though.
