Answer
Hello Vinnie,

I think you are referring to the "guides" that snap on to the ends of the regulator arms and slide left and right in the channel underneath the glass.  They are made of white plastic and measure a bit longer than an inch wide and about half an inch high.  

You can buy a better substitute from Dixie Auto Electric in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  Their telephone number is 954-563-5111.  Either Joe Natale Sr. or Joe Natale Jr. will answer the telephone.  Tell them Ben from Omaha said you were looking for a "small roller without the stem" to replace the broken "footballs" in your Cadillac regulator.  Joe Jr. can also give you some advice about installing the new guides.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
