What the crap is this!?
Something was rattling around in my door. I pulled the panel and found this (see attached pic). I know where it goes, but I cant get it to stay put. Anyone know what it's called, what it does, and how I make it stay put???

Same thing happened to my passenger side window, I just put it back in its spot and for good measure I try not to use that window and when I do I don't go down further then 1/2 way.

Lame. Well, I've been using my window with it off for a couple weeks, so I hope I didn't burn up my motor... What I did for now was put it in my vice grip and and expand that spring. That way the friction locked it in place. So far so good. My motor is fine and I'm not messing with that crap until it dies totally. Thanks for the info guys!!! You rock.

This is where you have to ask the question - "Why is it there in the first place." Did GM add the part because it doesn't do anything?
When this happens, the motor will freeze and you will have no way to get it up. (It will fail trying to put the heavy glass up.) This also tends (by Murphy's Law) to happen during snow and rain storms.

Come take a drive up North. I'd recommend taking a drive on the PA turnpike during a snowstorm. That's where my first window motor failed me. It was lovely... Snow, 10 degrees, and 65 mph with no window.
I love Tuscon. Sadly, we are all experiencing global climate change and what we see today may not be what we have tomorrow. When you do get your snow, it would be great if you can post some pics of the saguaros dusted in the white stuff!
These motors are garbage to begin with. I don't think they will last too long having to move the glass w/o the counter balance.

We actually did have some snow this past winter. Freak thing. First time in 20 years!! Here's some pics from my front and back yard. (I made extra sure not to roll down my Camaro's window!!

Agree on the Tucson thing. I went to school there (Uof A), and I've missed it ever since.
