should window regulator rollers roll freely?
Hi
85 camaro-manual regulator. My doors are all disassembled and am getting ready to install internals. Cleaned all parts a couple of years ago and want to properly lube everything prior to install. I 1st looked at rollers, 3 on regulator and 1 on glass channel.
1 roller is loose and rolls freely,2 are hard to turn (can see rust inside roller and 1 won't hardly turn at all.
What should these behave like, and proper method to lube and or fix.
Also, I just cranked each regulator with the door handle and they crank easily one way but much harder in the opposite direction?? any thoughts on this also?
thank you in advance for your help

Re: should window regulator rollers roll freely?
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but it is important to me. I have 0 experience with this and some windows apparently these rollers only slide and some need to roll, I have no idea what is the norm for these windowns so a reply , even if sarcastic would be greatly appreciated. with 20 views i'm sure some of you do know the answers
thanks again

Re: should window regulator rollers roll freely?
I don't know if they always roll, but I think are intended to roll. Also, should work relatively freely in both directions. I've recently taken my doors apart. When I get a chance I'll look at rollers and see which tend to turn. Might be couple days. Also need to determine what lubricant to use.
