I've been putting this off so long the windows are scratched. Have ordered the felt pads from Fiero Store but they did not have now and said will not have dew wipes until maybe September. Also ordered Rodney Dickman's special tool for the hard to access screws.
What else do I need?
I see the Fiero Store illustrations for dew wipes include inner and outer. I didn't realize there are inner strips . . ?
Anything else needed including likely to break and need replaced?
Any other source for the dew wipes?
As always, thank you for advice and comments.

Most or all Widow ROLLERS won't rotate. This causes many problems and lube won't help much or at all.
Dorman and maybe others have new rollers that pop off whatever can w/ then pop on OE ball stud.

Ogre, are the rollers white plastic discs? More than ten years ago I had my passenger door inner panel off and found two loose lying inside. One was broken and the other looked whole, but I had no idea what they were or where they were supposed to function inside the door. ------------------

Plastic "Disk shape" that "clips" on a metal ball tip stud.
Example: https://www.dormanproducts.com/p-8469-74430.aspx
OE Plastic roller shrinks and a lube the ball won't help. Worse many use wrong lube and make more problems.
I use only Permatex Brake Grease to lube any plastic parts now.

I read the door and window texts, but could really use a picture of what a proper roller installation/configuration looks like. The text mentioned illustration but there was none. Text even included "blue" for window adjustment locations.
Please forgive extra requests.

If your in the door and the skin is off. take your locks out and have them cleaned or replaced and rekeyed at a local lock smith. Also have your door mechs pulled and ultrasonically cleaned and relubed.

The correct way to replace the outer dew wipes is to take out one of
the window tracks, a couple of the window stops, then you can raise the
window enough to get a screw driver under the glass. There are even U
shaped cut outs in the door frame to stick a screw driver through to get to
those 2 middle screws. You don't need the Rodney tool. I would suggest
getting new dew wipe screws from the Fiero store as you will find they get corroded
with time. Also mark the bolts you take out for the track/window stops so
when you put it back together, the window alignment hasn't changed.
