Hi everyone, two questions here.  Decided to condense them into one thread:

1.  In the first picture, the little white plastic roller is missing from the passenger side window regulator.  Does anyone know a part number for the roller?  I can only seem to find a square one.

2.  In the second picture, you'll see that my quarter panel and trunk pans have rusted away.  It's pretty much the same on both sides, but the passenger side is much worse.  I already have a p/s quarter panel on hand, but how hard would it be to acquire or fabricate trunk pans?  The main body of the trunk is in decent shape; just needs to be sanded down and touched up.

Thanks in advance!

the square roller piece works just fine i have them in my car! dorman/help product easy replacement ... just grind the end of the original rivet off flush and remove the original the replacement bolts in Wink no need to remove the regulator or the window! just crank it down to access it through an opening use a 2x4 or something to hold the glass up out of the way, slide the new roller in the channel and lower the glass by hand and pull the arm back enough to get the bolt into the hole put the nut on and tighten...Wink
