Default Window Channel broke.

I replaced my window regulator this weekend, and found that the stud that holds the roller for the rear window guide has broken off. It looks like this is part of the whole window channel. I called the local dealer, and found that the part is obsolete. Does anyone know where I can find this part, other than the junkyard? Any good websites that specialize in obsolete parts?

Bring the window (with the channel still attached) and the stud that broke off to a body shop and they should be able to weld it back on for a few $$$. I did it several times as a body tech.

Unfortunately it's already been welded, an broken off again, and the roller and the stud are missing. The car was like this when I got it, and I just got around to checking it out.

RFx, Thanks but I found one already. A local junkyard has a complete window glass with the channel and everything else on it for $50. To me that is worth not having to try to drill rivets and replace them, and the chance of breaking the glass.
