I am having trouble finding a replacement for the rollers on the window regulators for the rear driver's side and passenger side; anyone know a solution to this problem?; also is there a fix for replacing the sash channel that has too many rust holes to repair?

Sash channels are not that hard to repair with POR-15, or boat grade fiberglass. Here is an old post on how I repaired mine: How to remove/install a sash onto glass

Both methods require you to paint the product. Fiberglass is much more runny so paint the sides when the surface is laying flat that you want to paint. I usually try to build up about 1/16" of whatever product I use on the INSIDE bottom of the sash. I also carefully sandblast the parts to provide a stable surface to work with. Both products will run through holes in the sash so use painters tape to seal them. I also coat ALL sides of each piece to completely encapsulate the part. I have had no problem installing the glass and cracking off the paint or fiberglass in the process.

If I have confused you post more questions.

Thanks....I located a vendor through DK Hardware for the sash channel. They have it in 48 inch lengths so I can cut off the excess as the original is 32.75 inches long. I can cut off the roller brackets and reweld but the biggest issue now is trying to find a set of replacement rollers. Any ideas???

The fine print talks about dimensional issues with the rivet. For my '41 I could drill out the old rivet to fit any size new rivet.
