I can't help with the window problem as I've never had mine out or done any adjusting to them .... but my '72 has the springs that go under the handles ... I would doubt that the lack of springs is causing your problem ... like Howard said, it's most likely in the mechanism.
About once every 20 years you need to remove the glass and take out the window regulator. After cleaning, hit the turning mechanism with it a good spray of something like WD. Hang it up and let it dry. Then grease it up good with your favorite heavy grease; my preference is for the moly- based stuff.
Put it all back together and check the window. Which should be good now for about another 20 years.
