Default Window regulator plastic wheel...

On my passenger side the upper plastic wheel that the window regulator cable rides on broke. Is there any way to replace just that plastic wheel? I hate to spend 200 bucks on a new regulator and have had no luck finding a used one for cheap either.

Seems like something could be put in that wheels place and work maybe.

My poor passenger door has been a mess for years I'd love to get it working fully again. I have a bent door accuator rode that I been putting off messing with too.

It'd be nice to have a bunch of bronze wheels and sliders made up, along with replacement cables. I just pulled apart my parts car and got a good passenger regulator. Drivers side had a broken cable and worn beat up sliding block. I have a backyard machinist who I use for small jobs. This thread has inspired me to look into this.

Machining a bunch of replacement wear parts doesn't seem particularly difficult. Re riveting the wheel or some sort of low profile bolting could be a pill.

I'll update if I come up with anything.

Nope. You have to replace the whole regulator. I got both my motors and regulators from partsgeek.

i was thinking about how to attach a replacement wheel, I'm not sure how much room is there but I'm sure a short bolt would do, it can't be That tight in there can it?
