The spring is used to assist the window when going up, and to slow it down when it is going down. That way it goes at equal speed either up or down. It is definitely easier to install the spring in the up position, as it is wound up even more in the down position. The only way it can be installed is with the regulator out of the door. The way I did it is lay down the regulator on the floor, hook the end of the spring up in the pin and rotate the center to wind it up. Once the center is turned 360 deg, push down into the slot. I used a pair of wise grips, and inserted a big screw driver in it to act as a handle. It is more of a two person job and you need to be very careful. I own two power window E-bodies, the first time I took one apart, it almost took my little finger off. I still have the scar after 15 years.
