Got round to examining the rollers on the sliding door (the ones that run down the centre of the rear quarter panel on the u-bracket) and the main wheel that sits vertically is rusty and a bit buggered and the other two that sit horizontally sound like their bearings have failed. Is there anywhere to get replacement parts from? I have a twin slider so both sides need doing

1988 T3 Sliding door rollers
Hey guys,
Got round to examining the rollers on the sliding door (the ones that run down the centre of the rear quarter panel on the u-bracket) and the main wheel that sits vertically is rusty and a bit buggered and the other two that sit horizontally sound like their bearings have failed. Is there anywhere to get replacement parts from? I have a twin slider so both sides need doing

The vertical roller wears through and splits in two.
change it now, don't wait until the door drops off, it's only a matter time!

Don't panic, there are no connected doors to speak of, hence the question. It's undergoing full restoration. It's the horizontal rollers that worry me; metal on metal and making a right nasty grinding noise. Worn out me thinks.
