It fell of and doesn't look like it broke off or was it bonded to the door glass somehow? The front roller looks like it is mounted with a stud but the rear is different.

here is the back of the door glass, I think the stud is for the lower window roller channel though. Could this roller have been mounted to the thing right behind it?

That (bottom picture) looks like the part that slides in the channel attached to the window. The square part slides in that horizontal channel.
 
Those pieces on the window aren't supposed to be rollers, they act like "rub blocks" to keep the glass from hitting the metal. BBSharks, correct, the roller is for one of the arms and rides in the channel that attatches to the window.
 

I've got that page in my service manual but I don't see any pictures that are detailed on this roller. from what you guys have said when I found it the roller was in the rear vertical track and I lost the horizontal track the bolts to the bottom of the door glass but found it yesterday.

I'm going to run to hardware store and find rivets that will work for my regulators, I just don't feel like dealing with bolts to hold them in place.
 
Think I got the upper hand on this now, just needed this window back in the car so it can be outside to work on. Was ready to buy complete doors at one point just to get away from the hassles of getting all these tracks installed.

there are two other pieces I can't figure where they go but will post pictures later.
 
Here's a good tip. Buy a pair of glass suction cups at Harbor Freight. Leave all those BS adjustments loose, then roll it up, and have a friend hold the window up with the cups, and tighten all the adjusting screws. Then try the window, and maybe do it again if necessary.
Adjusting it and trying will take a year.:(
