1/4 window spring lift question

Post by Modeltmike » Sat Jan 16, 2021 11:36 pm

I’m getting ready to install the lift helper arms for my quarter windows for my 24 coupe. I believe it mounts to the door latch post and is “behind” the glass on the body side of the glass. The question I have is the measurement of where to mount the arm. The distance from the lower cross member to the arm. I’ve attached a couple of photos.

Thanks
Mike

It probably doesn't have to be too exact, but the roller on the end of the arm drops into the notch in the bottom wood piece when the glass is down. Put the roller in the notch and mount the arm where the bracket lands on the post. Can you find the screw holes in your old wood for reference?
