Window rollers - 1966

70Bronco · Apr 4, 2018

Does anybody know the correct parts for these rollers in the rear quarter windows for a '66 Belvedere 2 door hardtop? (see photos). The first two are a double roller and the empty track. Second one looks like a single roller completely contained in the track.
I've reached out to 3 vendors and no response thus far.

Somebody replaced all of the parts but the ones indicated, so a whole kit seems like overkill. Looking at the kit, I don’t see the second roller I need that appears to be completely contained in the track.

Check out Ebay. Not sure exactly what the one you need looks like. I'll leave that up to you. They list multiple single rollers for "1966 rear quarter window rollers".

Yep, I’m not exactly sure either. Hoping somebody on here can tell me.

What piece(s) go on the other end of the white roller with pin, because nothing in the kit I received is fitting this track very well :

70Bronco · Apr 7, 2018

Where do those black rollers go? My car—they’re all white rollers.
The kit came with 4 split, or half rollers too. My car didn’t come with them either. Where do they go?

Hoping somebody had been through this before because there are no instructions & the fit isn’t quite right, so I want to make sure I’m on the right track before putting it together.

Yep, these rollers ain’t gonna roll on the track of this 66 Belvedere. They are locked on tight in these photos. Yikes! I can’t be the first person to experience this, am I?

Exploded views of the window regulators can be found in the "Body" section of the 1966 Master Parts Catalog....see this link....

And here's a link to the 1966 Belvedere factory service manual.....

Both of these manuals are free to download and save.

I learned that the split rollers are bushings and belong to a convertible--not a hardtop or 4 door.
This doesn't help with the issue I'm experiencing unfortunately. It doesn't show shapes, sizes, or explain why the ones that came with the kit are too freaking big for any of the tracks. Are some kits better than others? Has anybody else with a '66 or '67 hardtop had a similar experience? People with experience are the best source when dealing with aftermarket parts that can be roughshod and don't always fit your car, despite what the description says. I am hoping somebody has had a similar experience.
I consulted the service manual and it didn't provide any assistance with this issue either.

Try member Joerachet he has listing parting out 66-67 may have what you need.

FINAL WORD:
I sent the rollers back and ordered some from Roseville--they fit perfectly.
Not all vendors sell the same parts or the right parts apparently.

The second roller you mention is affixed to the regulator arm. No kit that I'm aware of has a replacement. And, it is affixed to the regulator arm permanently. Your second issue -- the repro rollers don't fit in the slots. Go to the 66 / 67 Charger forum on this site and read all about replacing quarter window rollers (it's got fantastic info on regulators and rollers). You'll see there that the repro kits contain incorrect size rollers and they have to be modified.
