Loose Vent Window

[da_raabi]

Hey guys, got a little issue. The driver's vent window is having problems staying open. One day it felt like something broke loose and now the whole thing swings really loosely. It shuts fine and does not leak, its just loose and closes itself when I'm driving. Since the A/C is down and out for now it has kind of sucked in this FL 100 degree weather! Any suggestions on how to tighten things back up? Thanks!

There is a tension spring and nut on the underside hidden behind the door panel. Nut could have worked loose or the spring broke.

Well it turns out both the spring and the nut were fine, but the lower post on the window was not. I guess what I felt "let go" was actually the lower hinge post snapping... Looks like I'm gonna need to find some new glass. Dammit.
