Blain,

I posted my solution in my own thread here: my window regulator roller replacement quest for my 71

I think it turned out pretty well and wanted to thank you for your pics on the subject. I know you had problems but reporting those issues helps other just like me.

Default Same issue

I too had this issue using yet another vender, Ecklrs corvette. It interferes just enough to stop the window from going down the last 2-3 inches. So frustrating. Anybody have a solution after everything has been reinstalled? I’m really hoping to not have to remove everything again to fix this. TIA.

Default Window rollers

Excellent info!!!! Thinking back I did driver side awhile back and had a lot of the same problems. Tried buying from parts store. Any ways I believe I piped the rollers apart and did the same thing. Really great post with excellent pics.

Default Pop off rollers

Blain. It’s a great fix but I did drivers door last year and did not keep worn out rollers I replaced with same rollers every one is talking about. I want to redo the drivers door but don’t have the rite rivet studs that were original. Any ideas on what to do if the studs are gone????QUOTE=StingrayLust;1577331989]Blain,
