I don't have step by step pictures on what to do but its quite easy anyway. One of my mechanisms is fixed and in the car, the other is sitting here and I couldn't be bothered to work on it at the moment.
Step 1 - Take rear winder mechanism as pictured.
Step 2 - Grind or drill the rear of the pin off (the side you cannot see in the picture) You will then be able to get this out with a punch or it may even fall out. This will leave you with a nice little hole.
Step 3 - Go down to bunnings and pick up these rollers. They are about $4 each, mitre 10 wanted $10!!
Step 4 - Screw the rollers into the holes remaining from the original bushes. They should fit it just nicely. Tighten with the supplied locknut. It may be a good idea to screw the lock nut on a few times before putting in the mechanism, just to get it worn in. It is quite hard to hold a ball bearing roller still and screw it on while its in the mechanism.
Step 5 - Figure out how to get the damn mechanism back in place. Have fun adjusting them and make sure everything is nice and lubricated and you should have a very smooth window.
This left me with rear windows that are nice and firm, and can only rock forwards and back if forced. Your windows won't fall out, tilt, stutter, or stop halfway down.
There is also one of these rollers in each of the front doors, these help with the final positioning of the window as it is going up to seal with the rubber.
Your front windows slide in channels, and if they are wobbling around you will find that the nylon runners are gone. There are two on the front and two on the back of your windows. You can cut these out of a breadboard and it works nicely.
Now your celica should have nice new working windows!
