There is a real nice picture of a rear qtr window roller kit in this thread.  It is supposedly available from RT Specialties.  I just went through their entire website and never found it.  Oddly, in a new Mopar magazine I looked at two days ago, RT Specialties advertises a rear window roller kit.  I can't recall but it may be this one.  Of course, they have NO PART NUMBERS on any of their items offered for sale. 

Does anybody know if this rear window roller kit is available anywhere?

RT Specialties makes the kit.  However, they are currently on back order.

John,
I broke some of those window bolts as well. They are not available repro, as far as I know...

If it's the same bolt that everyone's talking about that breaks, Tom told me that the radiator support bolts that go into the core support are very similar. Thread count and diameter are the same.. It even has the big washer like the regulator one...

The only problem is that the washer on the rad support bolts are flat, whereas the window bolts are CUPPED. The cupped washer distributes the torque more evenly so you don't break the glass.
See my previous post. If it were me, I'd cut the cupped washer off the broken bolt & use it with another bolt of similar length & size. And be SURE to use a rubber grommet!

That's VERY typical and the main reason I wont buy anything from year-one unless I cant get it anywhere else.

I finally received the roller kit from Yearone.  Paid through the nose.
Doesn't look like $88.

I talked to RT Specialties today.  He said he will have the roller kit in about a month.  He told me they would be $79.  He said that he ordered plenty so not to worry about him running out.

That ain't nothing, wait until you see what shipping those parts with YO cost.  :icon_smile_wink:

Shipping from YO, for the few ounces of the roller kit, was $13.03

It's almost May and still no roller kits from R/T Specialties (which supplies Year One and probably the others). Actually, they have everything that goes in the kit other than the rollers with the built-in studs if I understood him correctly (the guy I talked to seems to be one of those people who thinks everyone is bothering him and if you don't understand him the first time he gets short). Anyway, they are waiting on those specific rollers from, wait for it... China, to complete the KITS but you can still get everything else.

Another interesting thing to note is that the $90 Year One kit is a 14-piece kit whereas the R/T Specialties kit appears to be a 20-piece kit that costs less. YO quote: "This reproduction 14-piece kit includes rollers and clips. One kit does both sides, use 1 kit per car." YO P/N MT105
