Topic: Rear spring on 1949 Mercury power window

  Does anybody make the rear spring for the Merc Convertible power window mechanism? I found the front springs at Hydro E Lectric but they don’t have the rear one. It is smaller than the front. The rebuilding of the system has been a challenge but I’m getting there!

  If HydroElectric doesn't have them, you can try searching Rearcounter.com for one by the part number or check with some of the suppliers of Lincoln parts. I would put an ad on this website, the AACA site and the HAMB site. The last one as the hot rodders usually change over to electric type regulators.

As a last resort, try searching for people parting out Mercury or Lincoln.

I am pretty sure that the baby Lincoln uses the same springs, but I am not sure about the Cosmopolitan. I don't have a body parts catalog, so i can't check the P/N for you, but the same spring may have been used in the Sportsman and the 46-48 Lincoln. The Sportsman spring P/N is 51A-7130318
