Window roller kit?

    I'm over the rattles and ill fitting passenger door glass on my '69 Skyark 2 dr hardtop. The back of the door glass is down, about half an inch, when the window is up.
    I'd like to do it once & do it right, rather than buy parts one at a time,( shipping to Australia is the main expense here)
    So, the question is: Does anyone make a kit that will have all the rollers, etc so I can fix it in one hit?

    Thanks in advance.

    Is your car door post or non post?

    Non post, 2 dr Hardtop. Even if I have parts left over, I'd rather just buy the parts once, do the job right first time.

    GStage1 Always looking for parts!

    More than likely...your upper rear window stop is missing or not set correctly.
    Rollers hardly go bad...did you remove the rear side panel and inspect?

    Remove the trim panel(s) and see if you can adjust the front window to shut properly. Look for "print marks" on the adjustment bolts and see if something got moved. Chassis service manual covers the adjustments in detail. This will be a good time to clean and lube the slides, too. As George suggested, these parts usually don't go bad unless heavily corroded or parts missing or loose. I don't know of a "kit" available.
