Just over a week ago Joe73 posted pics of a vertical roller that he was replacing on his 73 SS build. And ironically a few days afterwards, my 75 Laguna's passenger side window dropped into the door. As fate would have it, that same roller failed on my window. Here's a video of the repair. Hope this is useful to someone else out there.

Thanks Joe! I still can't figure out why GM uses the roller with shoulders versus the conventional roller like you have in your setup. Seems to me both would work just as well as the other.

Hey Ant, let us know what you find. Hopefully your hardware is not rotting off like mine did.
