Quarter Window... Cone shaped spring ?

[Racer57]

I'm replacing my quarter window regulator.  There is a cone shaped coil spring that I "think" is located at the window rail mount bolt, but I'm not sure exactly where it goes. HELP !

Is this the one you're talking about?


The small end slides onto the window crank shaft before the rear interior panel is installed.  It pushes out on the rear panel to keep it tight to the window crank.

YES !!  Somehow it ended up on the bolt for the window mount which confused the hell outta me !

THANKS !!

The one in the picture is about 2" in diameter at the big end.  I think there is another cone shaped spring for the lower window track mount but it's much smaller.

No...no ...no....Let's not jump to conculsions.....

The cone shaped spring burdar posted is about 1.5" tall with an almost 2" diameter at the base. It's only found on Challengers not Cudas and serves the purpose laid out in his post.

HOWEVER

On the lower center mounting bolt of the rear quater window - track, there is a smaller cone shaped spring that is about 1" tall and maybe 1" in diameter at it's base. It goes over the shoulder bolt and holds tension on the bottom of the window assembly, while allowing it to move outward/inward a little. 

Class dismissed

That's the size of spring that I have. Thanks !

My 70 Cuda has the spring on the window crank post to push panel out.

Interesting...If you're car is all original....maybe it's something they dropped in later years. The reason it's used on a Challenger is because of the extra depth of the panel and length of the window crank shaft.
