Solid side window help

im installing the curved solid side windows and they are kicking my butt! I have the opening wide enough now where the window moves up and down freely with the felt chanel installed.

Ive also cleaned and oiled my factory regulators and they seem to be working properly... my problem is that then I move the window using the regulator the plastic rollers pop out of the lift chanels.

I purchased this kit from mid fifty, I’ve changed the regulator rollers to vinyl or plastic ones that mid fifty sells, im also using their extended lift chanels for the solid side windows.


Any any help on this would be great, what could be causing the rollers to pop out of the lift chanels? Also is it easier to just change to electric solid side windows?
