Can someone please tell me where the small spring connects to the door panel so the pocket lid has tension on it as I do not see anything. Thank you.

Some pics I lifted off eBay. You can just barely see the hole in the vinyl side. On the back of the panel the small metal bezel is visible right by one of the clips that attaches the panel to the door. Note that if your door panel is a replacement it may not have the hole for the spring. For example I don’t believe the early ‘914 Rubber’ panels made of fiberglass had the hole.
