Can someone tell me the function of the side window regulator crank spring? How would i know if its working?
Replaced the large spring
but the window still falls down 1 inch when closed..thanks...

Carmelo;
The spring balances the window weight so the window crank rotates easier.
Likely you are missing some teeth on the gear.
A close inspection should identify the issue.

Re: crank spring

Will check the crank teeth, large gear looks good. Any source for the crank gear?.
Thanks

Re: crank spring

Its generally easier and cheaper to just replace the entire regulator assy. You can find good used ones on eBay fairly cheap. Gear repair parts are available though from several parts vendors.
