Not exactly "for sale", cuz it's a free offer, but...
These sliders attach to the cables for a Crystal Lite Roof's shades (these are specifically for my '91 Super Exceed; I'm not sure which other models they'd fit...). I had a few of these little guys break on me and so I recently modeled and printed some out on a 3D printer and they work good as new! I've attached the STL file (which can be used with any 3D printer) to this post and, if you so choose, here is a link to the model itself (you may copy it and modify it if you'd like!)
I'd suggest using plastic that is strong and can stand up to some wear and tear, not to mention the grease in the slide rails. I used a Markforged printer available in my lab (it prints using Nylon blended with carbon fiber), but I think ABS could do just fine!
Finally, here are a few pictures of the replacement for context.
