I'm having problems with my driver side window falling down while I'm driving! I was told the spring on the window reglator has lost it's tension and will not keep the window up! I know Carter's has a regulator kit, but all it is, is part of the drive gear mechanism! I really need the spring for each window that are in good shape!

Where can they be bought or found! I have a couple of complete assemblies, but they have the same problem!

Dan,

There is a spring inside that assembly that holds the tension on the regulator to keep the knob from turning due to the weight of the window. I have refurbished my regulators and sold quite a few others and I am not aware of any other springs in this assembly?

I had the same problem, mine had a spring hooked up too. I put in a new regulator and tried it without the spring no problem so far it stays put.

This might sound stupid but try moving the final position of the handle when the window is up. The weight of the handle and the bouncing of the truck going down the road will drop the window some. If the handle is already in the 2o-clock to 5o-clock position when moving this will help keep it tight.
But yesy window regulators can be bought at any of the big vendors
