You can get new ones from Nissan.. Post a WTB parts ad too

I found good used ones in a junkyard. That might be a little more difficult in Australia though.

Take note that these are sided, meaning the Right hand side won't work on the Left. (They're angled to match the glass panes line of travel)

And you can put two per door. This sometimes will help with the wind "sucking the pane out of the track"

Enrique, where do you put the 2nd roller on each door?

[EScanlon]

Thanks Webdawg for those pictures.

When you remove the outside stainless trim and wiper that presses against the window you'll see there are two "notches" in the inner support steel that brace the outside top edge of the door.

One will have your current roller (unless the steel bracket holding it in place has rusted away), and the other will not have anything in it unless a prior owner added one. You use two of the same side rollers. Look at the pictures that Webdawg provided and you'll see both the part number to order by and also the "angle" of the individual pieces. IIRC the "angle" of the roller brackets is such that they angle towards the front of the car, and the roller's axis of rotation is perpendicular to the line of travel of the window pane.

It's been a while since I've had my door panel, or the outside trim off, so I'm hoping that someone with theirs off of their door can provide pictures for everyone else.

Here is a shot of a new roller installed on the door.

Ron, can you post a picture of the area closest to the back of the window opening? That's where you'll see the second notch.

Got mine at MSA

Here's a shot of the old roller which shows the cutout in the door where the front side roller is installed. Note that this 37.5 year old roller is cracked thru the sheet metal at the front end. No photos of cutout in aft side.

Hey "E",

Are they supposed to be fitted to a 260Z ?? They weren't on "Precious" when I bought her. Also, does the glass have to be removed in order to fit the rollers??.
