I got a 6mm (?) nylon cutting board from the 2 dollar shop and cut a suitable piece from it. About 30mm long and width to suit the track.
Hi Gents
My sons D1 glass shattered in the drivers side rear door. I have replaced it and manufactured a new bottom bracket to retain the 1/4 window, but as I was putting it back together, the nylon bush on the winding mechanism shattered. Is there an easy option or do I need a complete mechanism assembly. I was toying with the idea of drilling out the rivet that holds the pivot pin and fitting a nylon wheel from a shower door.
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thx Ian

Mine have all been replaced with a metal roller turned up in a lathe. There was a video on YouTube where a bloke in the UK used a small coin to replace the crap nylon roller. Cant find it just now, maybe worth a search.
Have a search on the forum, there is a door or window roller you can get from Bunnings that is a very close fit with slight manipulation of the track, I did this years ago, still going strong.

Just got back from Bunnings with 2 x 4361 wheels, but grinding one down, the wheel bearing let go and it was still about 0.3mm off being thin enough to fit in the track, so off to the sheetmetal shop to make a new track 7 mm wide internally, to suit the 6mm wheel width. I might make 2 and do the other rear door as well, as I reckon the 1/4 window support bracket will be as badly rusted as this one was, and Murphy's law dictates that the other side window mech runner will break if I dont come prepared.

You don't have to grind much off the wheel, more so widen the track, a bit of both will get it done
This generally what I have in an old D1 and my D2 with a bit of a clean up. I used a countersunk stainless bolt/nut to secure it to the arm.

I ended up making a new track which was a bit wider and fitted it all up with the roller wheel from bunnings.
It was a bit fiddly getting inside the door frame to line it all up and bolt it to the window track, but in the end
it all worked like a charm. Now I have to check the other side and figure out why the rear windows dont work.
I ended up having to drive the window up and down with a live feed straight to the motor. I did read something
somewhere about a dry joint on the PCB behind the glove box, which I will have to check out when I get a minute.
Thx again all.
Cheers Ian
