I found this laying in the bottom of the driver's side door. The power windows, locks, handles, and door work fine. I can't find this part on the passerner side or in my Assembly Manual. Any ideas?

Thanx for the quick response. I found the Window Regulator Spring at volunteer vette and can see that mine is broken. Now what does it do, where does it go, and why does my window work without it?

Since you have power windows, the motors are still able to raise them. The spring would lessen the load and they would go faster and last longer. Joe
