RON,No I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, just working too many hours and not having car fun... but, as far as your question... I was told they are there to hold some pressure on the door panel so as you don't see the window crank shaft, and to help keep crank from settling and causing window to go down...???...if that is true ... now you have an answer... if not... maybe someone can enlighten us both! John in WI ... warm Oct eve... the Pack won... and my finger is healing... ps: don't try to get a stone out of a dump truck tailgate during a brain fart... a 1000# gate takes off finger tips in less than a split second...and it takes 2 1/2 hours to sew all the squishy pieces back together...OUCH! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Waters" <ronbo97@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <L-FORWARDLOOK@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, October 19, 2008 1:45 PM Subject: [FWDLK] Spiral Springs Inside Door Panels Hi All - What is the purpose of those spiral springs behind the interior door panel on the window crank shaft ? To me, they create pressure on the door panel, causing that area to wear out sooner. It also makes it difficult to remove the door handle without cracking the escutcheon.
