This coil looking thing, and a screw were sitting in my door, behind my door panel. What are these?

Thats the coil spring that goes in between the window motor and reguator.. cant see hwta the other part is from that far away

 

It's just a screw. How did that fall out, and does it hurt anything?

 

something is wrong with your regulator. YOur gonna have to remove it and see if it broke. does the window still work?

 

Yeah, the window still works. But it makes a horrible scraping noise. It's not hurting the glass, but it's scraping against something.

 

ugh.. yeah. you will have to remove the motor and regulator so you can really see whats going on...

 

YOU ARE ALL WRONG!!! its the flux capacitor. im sorry buddy but your not travling in time anymore

 

Dude...I removed the flux capacitor from my car because it was giving me bad gas millage, and it dosn't look anything like that.

Looks like it's time to take apart the door.

 

Try looking inside the door with an inspection mirror. Maybe the regulator blew up on someone else before you got the car and they replaced it, but left parts in the bottom of the door.

flat wound spring

 

I thought about that as well, Thats why I asked him if it was working properly. Since he said it makes a bad noise I am willing to bet that it's from his regulator... but you never know

 

 

Yeah. I pulled my door panel off and stuck my head inside, and looked around. I saw where the flat wound spring is supposed to go, so I put it back on. The window still makes a terrible scraping noise, and when it goes all the way down, the spring falls off. There are a ton of small rivets and screws inside my door, but the window still works. I don't think I should be using it though..

 

there has to be tention on it to stay in. thats why you will have to remove the motor to do it. Best thing to do it remove the whole regulator and see whats going on..

 

Yeah, I suppose so. I'll just do it this weekend and look at that little guide shoebox left. Thanks a lot for the help.
