The past couple of days I have hear a rattle in the drivers door going over bumps and such. Too it apart today and found these laying at the bottom of the inner door? I can't find what these might have went to , any ideas?

 

Have manual windows, keyless entry, everything on the door work fine, so dont know what these went to? maybe a part of a aftermarket power window???

 

{look at pictures in next post}

 

sorry the pictures are not too good of quality, but that coil look as if it went between those 2 plastic pieces......

 

Help me!!!

They look like a part to the power windows. It looks like part of the piece that the cable runs through then gets wound on a drum. The spring(coil) is usually in there to help hold the tension and then aid in spinning the drum the other way.

 

It is only a guess. I've seen something similar on an import with the window actuator. Thought that there would be something to fix in it but as it turned out you have to buy the whole piece.

 

Anyway, did your truck have aftermarket windows installed at one time?

Thanks for some light on this?

 

I'm not sure if this truck ever had aftermarket power windows!! I got it with 45K on it, there are not extra wires in the door area, or any cutting to the panel. When I added the power windows the inner film on the door(weather protector) had never been messed with. i'm at a lost, i guess i could remove the pass side door and feel around.

They look like parts of the window regulater,relief spring and cover to be exact...

Is the window a little harder to wind up (close)? The spring applies tension to assist in closing the window,it counters the weight of the window...kinda like a garage door spring....for example

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
