Does anyone have a fix for a regulator spring that has lost its tension? I can't find a new one that fits for the 46 passenger side.

You may be better off to buy the complete unit. There are several on Ebay.

Thanks Harold but I completely rebuilt my assembly including putting in bronze roller bearings. The driver side works great the passenger side won't stay up. I have an old car wrecking yard near me I might try there. Those ebay adds don't even show the spring. Seems like someone would make new springs?

Does the window regulator crank gear have any special feature that holds the window in the up position. I now have several springs and none of them will hold the window in the up position?

On some old vehicles if they're lubed up too well, there isn't enough friction in the assembly to hold the window up.

Maybe try a thicker rubber grommet under the crank handle to create a little more friction ?
