How does the window attach to the roller arm? The window sash has detached from the roller arm, and the roller arm has come off the regulator.
I'm thinking that I could fashion a leather washer that would fit over the pin and ride along the track. And a bead of silicone should hold the window to the roller arm.
If the regulator operates, you can replace the roller and it's attaching rivet to fix the problem with the missing roller on the end of the regulator arm. Buoymaker's second picture shows a roller that's pretty much worn out. The new ones are available from The Filling Station (and probably other vendors), and are made of nylon. They come with the rivet. It's pretty easy to remove the original rivet and install the new one. I don't think a leather washer would last long.

Thanks Kevin that makes sense as to how the problem happened.
I just wanted to also mention that window channels need to be in good shape to grip the window glass. While everything is apart, it's a good time to check for rust trough and do a little rust maintenance.
"Adding CFM to a truck will only help at engine speeds you don't want to use." "I found there was nothing to gain beyond 400 CFM."
Window setting tape is rubberized tape that fits between the metal channel and the glass. There's only one metal part that goes on the bottom of the glass that the roller goes into.
Window setting tape is available from most of the vendors. Here's one.
