I am getting ready to put the door glass in on a 69 convertible and have two springs with my glass related parts. I have a feeling that they go on the door latch mechanism and don't want to put the glass in first if that is the case. Any help would be appreciated. The spring coils are about 3/8" in diameter and the spring free length is 5 3/4". They were painted green and are placed in a woven sleeve.

 

Don't know of any springs like that in the door. Those actually look like the spring on the seat lever.

 

Turbo86,
The seat adjuster lever springs you identified do look like my parts and are the same color. I will check my seats to see if the springs are missing. Thanks!

Unfortunately, my seat adjuster levers still have their springs in place so I am still looking for ideas on where these springs are used. Thanks for the try.

Turbo86,
I was watching a door latch video on you tube and found the place for the springs in question. They are return springs for the interior door release handles. After putting them in it looks like they would go in with the glass in or out. Thanks again for your help.
