Loose Window Cranks
Hey all. I have loose, wobbly window cranks that really bother me and make it so I almost have to use two hands to roll the window up and down. I checked the teeth inside the plastic cranks (they are original) and they seem fine, yet an eye inspection can't really tell for sure. I plan on getting 70 vinyl door panels soon. Should I get new cranks as well to help tighten up the feel or will that not help? Thanks all

Re: Loose Window Cranks
Are there different handles if you have the padded panels?
I ask because my truck has the metal door panel, plus a vinyl padded panel, plus a blue plastic disc. But if you just had the metal door panel, what would take up all the slack? What I'm getting at is if you could have a mismatch between "fat door panel" and "thin door panel" handles, IF such difference exists, which I don't even know. So it's a long shot, but I'm curious!

Re: Loose Window Cranks
Original window cranks aren't plastic. This is odd, two loose window crank threads in the same day on the same page

Re: Loose Window Cranks
Yes, mine is the other post, and I'm annoyed that I have to even think about this. I don't like chasing all over town just trying to buy something that works. I have decided to keep my original metal handles and just get the plastic knob and see if that fixes my problem: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000COCXGS/
For this thread, it seems the OP needs a whole new handle in metal. |

Re: Loose Window Cranks
I got some springs shaped like a cone for my "69. Keeps a little pressure on them.

Re: Loose Window Cranks
Where/how did you insert the cone springs?

Re: Loose Window Cranks
They just slip on over crankshaft, held on with slight pressure after installing crank handle. I think I got them from eBay, $10 bucks shipped. Worth it.
