Passenger side door noise resolved

2006 9-5 Sport package (Aero) 5 speed.
A few weeks back I posted for info on a noise that was driving me crazy. A random snapping noise developed from my front passenger door. I took the door apart and lubed everything, but the noise gradually returned.
Replaced the green rollers today and the noise is gone (so far). The front roller was dry and caked with dirt last month when I lubed it, but the rear roller was cracked, allowing some movement between the window and the window regulator. Could not see that until it was removed from the car. Anyway, $16 and 90 minutes and it seems to be quiet now.
Thanks to eEuro for their video. This is a pretty easy DIY job.
At 108,000 miles, the car still rides well and the engine is still strong. A new windshield goes in next week to cure the bad pitting on the original, new struts, shocks, ball joints, outer tie rod ends and sway bar ends are in the garage waiting for some time off, and the exhaust is toast and will be ordered next week. Hoping to set the car up for its next 100,000 miles.
Hope the window roller info helps.
