I've noticed bins of many different sizes screws, bolts, grommets, etc.,
at large hardware stores such as Lowes. I think I vaguely remember also
seeing a selection of nylon rollers there several months ago (can't be
sure). 'May be worth checking, though. One slightly too small or too
big could probably work fine; larger one could be ground/cut down, too.
How 'bout the nylon MB window rollers from Rusty? ('Thought for a minute
I had one here to measure for you, but can't find it - 'musta used it.)
Maybe another lister has one to measure for you.

Subject: [MBZ] OT - nylon roller
This is obviously something difficult to answer given the subject, but
you folks always have good ideas so I am throwing it out to you.
My younger son drives our old 95 Toyota 4Runner through the winters.
This is the last model that had the old style station wagon type rear
tailgate and window setup.
The window parts tend to rust and have to be repaired periodically.
I did it once in about 2001 or 2 and it needs it again.
The parts are available if a bit expensive.
I have ordered the pieces and they should be in tomorrow.
There are tracks for lack of a better description that the glass sits
in. There are rubber inserts and metal channels that sit on the bottom
of the glass.
The regulator moves the glass up and down via an electric motor.
The regulator arms have nylon rollers that sit in the channels on the
bottom of the glass.
One of the nylon rollers has broken off. They are not available
separately from Toyota. They would sell us the whole regulator assembly.
I was afraid to ask how much and also think it would be a bit of a bear
to swap a new one it.
So, does anyone have any good ideas on replacement of the roller.
My basic thoughts are to see if the ones on some drawer slides are of a
similar size and might be swapped in in some manner.
Another thought is to make something out of a suitable plastic.
