For our RRC folks just here on NAS-ROW...we just successfully created the unobtanium window regulator plastic tract wheel/insert for a RRC. Not sure if it works yet but looks just like it. Will post results soon. Here's a pic of the new one and old broken one.<!-- AMS FIRST IN POST -->

I wish I ordered them ahead of time.
Window regulator broke on one of my D1s last week, and the window fell down into the door. Two of three plastic roller wheels broke.
A 5-6mm bolt (better - buttonhead, better yet - shoulder bolt, better yet - with the shoulder about 10-12mm in diameter and about 1/4" tall) and a large steel washer will get you out in a pinch. You'll need to have a good selection of fasteners and an angle grinder in your garage.

Not the parts shown above - the rollers shown here:
But you need flat-headed, shoulder screws to mount the rollers. You still need to grind off or drill out the posts that held the rollers.
ok, what you describe sounds a little different...the RRC ones just pushed on, no flat head screws needed
