Default Window rollers

Are the rollers suppose to roll on their axle or just slide in the track

so obviously they are supposed to roll any ideas on freeing them up. I tried brake clean, 3 in 1 oil and wd40. maybe mineral spirits or a little heat.

I soaked my rollers Simple Green for about 24 hrs. Occasionally trying to break them free and digging out the old grease with an awl. Eventually they cleaned up fine

That's what I was told too...but I didn't want to contradict. As far as I know, rears do not roll. They just slide. Grease em up good. My door ones do roll... I have the glass out of the door and just checked.

They do not roll , they only pivot & are a guide . Remove them from the stud & clean the old lithium grease out & re-lube.
