If you do need to replace them, it’s fairly easy to do. I recently replaced all roller tracks on my car using 2 kits available from the suppliers. These kits contain 2 roller tracks, 4 rivets and a small to use in installation of the rivets to hold the roller tracks in.
After removing the backing plates, I used a side-wheel grinder to remove the old rivet heads. I ground about 1/8” off the new rivets before installing them. With the new rivets in place holding the new roller tracks in, I used a MAPP torch to heat the shank of the new rivets red-hot, and then used a 16 oz ball-pein hammer to round the new rivet heads. The small tool that comes with the kit holds protects the spring end of the rivet from damage while the rivets are installed.
