Default Roller damage 02

The passenger roller is bent. Can't tell if it is part of the frame or if it is attached to a bracket.. Is it something to be concerned with even know the roller still operates?

Yes thanks I believe that answers the question of being bolt on or not.. I may have to straighten the bracket that those attach to before I install the double rollers.. Apreciate the help and link!!

Not sure it was like that when got car, after further inspection the only thing I see is the 1" square tubing a little beat up about 6" both ways from the roller.. Am I screwed or can a shop cut out the bad section and reeled in new piece?

Does not look like anymore damage. Thinking it got popped on that side but it all looks fine except for that roller and short portion of tubing, I might have both sides cut out and done right because the rollers are supposed to be bolt on like you said
