Hoping someone has a brainwave to solve my rear window mechanism problem. Having just bought another ( my fourth ) Surf, it came with a non working rear window. Bought a new electric motor and have managed this morning to get everything together and working.
However, the previous owner had disassembled the workings and has released the large spring which is normally held by a centre fixing and on the outer end by a metal tab. On my truck the bent end of the spring is about 180" opposite to the tab .
Anyone got any brainwaves how to get that bent end of the spring back over the raised metal tab? It's a heck of a strong spring and I'm struggling to find a way to get it back in position.
Window is going up and down ok, but presume the spring is an " assist" to the electric motor when lifting the window back to the closed position?
Thanks for any help.
