I heard a pop, then the window would slant as it came up. If I held the one end and pulled, it went up ok, but if not, it would come up with one side higher than the other. I took off the door panel and looked to see what was wrong. The one roller was broken and in two pieces in the roller track.

 

alright then..ill have to look at it sometime .. its a "busy work" kinda thing so im not really worried about it.... ill check it out sometime... thanks

 

DougMD, you are the MAN! I thought, this fix is too good to be true, however I will do anything to avoid the dreaded dealership. I am no mechanic, went to Home Depot anyway, found the rollers, $4.99. I started reaming them out on the drill, center holes still a little too small, heated them up with the heat gun, greased them up and popped them on. It's been two months, window works like new, thanks Doug

 

One of mine broke about 50k miles ago. Split in half from the outer rim through the hole. I tied it back together with about 6 or 7 loops of air force .020 "safety wire". I guess farmers would call it "bailing wire". Stainless steel ... rustproof. Still working ...

 

I just repaired 2 drivers side rollers on the window track on a 98 ram. I read this thread and headed out to home depot. The Self-Closing Bottom Mount was out of stock, so I picked up some shower rollers that came in packs of 2 for under $2. I used a belt sander to turn them down to the right size, removed the ***** the old rollers mounted on by grinding off the backside and installed the new rollers in the holes left behind with the screws provided with the new rollers. I will post pictures later.

 

I keep breaking the roller with the 3/8 bit. How are you keeping the roller from turning while you drill?

 

low speed with extremely light pressure, just barely touch it. a pair of slip joint pliers should hold the roller just fine provided they have the oval opening in the jaws when closed. and make sure your drill bit is sharp.

 

Reviving this thread in case my trip to a you pic junk yard turns up empty.

 

so, my pass window makes a bad clicking/popping noise when going down, what is it?

 

I had this happen to me over a year ago, had to order a new power window regulator off Ebay for about 75 bucks. When my track wheel broke, the window went up and down crooked, and barely closed at the top.

Be careful what you order as the regulators are side specific.
