How you managed to do that is beyond me! But I happened to have a rear passenger door (won't fit on the front door) and am looking at it.

The heavy spring is fitted in a valley on one end, the other end is a slot that it can travel a little bit. The slotted side has a smaller roller than the valley side. The cutout section of the flat piece will fit over the larger roller, so remember the orientation.

Slide the flat piece past the rollers until the thinner part of the flat piece has room to wedge between both rollers. Now you need to secure the flat piece to something sturdy, like a bench vise or bolt it down via the T40 screw hole.

Get a metal bar of some sort, wedge it into the spring (the movable side) and push the spring away from the center while pulling the flat piece into place.

If this works (?) let me know.

Also, the orientation is a bit strange when installing. Try fitting the T40 in from the outside first, just so you know how it is supposed to feel when putting it in from the door side.
