    So I wired in the rear window regulator, it works great but when I went to add the glass I realized that one of the wheels was missing. I'm trying to find a new wheel that I could easily replace it with. So here is hoping someone else knows which ones fit... Or has figured out a fix of some sort??

    I cut a couple of those wheels off of a 2nd gen and gave them to a fellow out in BC to fix the same issue. Not quite sure how he did it, maybe with just a nut and bolt.

    Ya. We tried stealing they piece off of the spare part regulator that came with the vehicle and could get it off safely, so I ended up going to a window and screen door shop, grabbed a roller that was the right circumference to fit, just the length was off. I sanded it down until it was the same dimensions as the other roller, and then went to hardware store and got a chicago screw to attach it to the hole after I cut off the rusted piece. I was definitely excited when I finally got it installed
