These pins appear to be something other than steel. Do the 10-118 rollers have steel pins in them? If not, do you have an alternative suggestion?

Oh, I'm sorry! Well, if you can, see if you can just replace the glass. A local glass shop should be able to help you out with that. It may be better than replacing the whole window.
