METAL WINDOW ROLLERS

Are the metal window rollers (#23240) a thing of the past? I sure don't like and don't trust the plastic ones.

I bought the metal rollers for my car build. I would not purchase again. I would just use the newer nylon rollers. JMHO.

In my opinion, they are more difficult to install and I do not find them as smooth as the nylon ones. I think this is why Ford went to the nylon ones a few years later. I put the metal ones in one car but I am going to use the later style from now on.
