I installed new nylon window rollers in the extended window lifts (for solid side window conversion) on my '54 F100. They fit so tight that the rollers don't roll. I'm afraid that when I install the window, it's not going to slide back and forth. Are there any tricks to getting these to operate properly?
Or did I install the rollers correctly?
I assembled them in the channels first and then slid them on to the window regulator posts. Compressing the spring in order to get the horseshoe clip in was quite difficult.
Just an observation as I have no experience with that sort of kit, but the rollers will never "roll" with that arrangement. The tight contact with the upper and lower bar at the same time prevents it. At best, they will slide. Perhaps that's the intent? Modern riser assemblies use square or rectangular nylon sliders in those positions.
I think you are OK. Even with my old "rollers" they don't roll, they slide. I used white lithium grease and my windows with all old equipment go up and down easily.

This is a replacement (repro) window roller. AFAIK: The originals were all metal.

I am trying to install the rollers and am wondering if someone can show me where the spring and plate are supposed to be relative to the channel metal..
