No more POS plastic window crank handles

I finally got tired of the knob popping off the plastic window crank handles yesterday and decided to try a spare set of older GM metal window crank handles with plastic knobs that I had sitting around.

They slip right on but don't have enough hole depth to allow the clip ring to engage the groove on the truck window crank assembly.

Simple fix with a die grinder. All I had to remove was the snout and tapered area beyond the splines. It was a little tough getting them on without the chamfer but I figured it was better to have more spline engagement than to have less and a chamfer.

Fit like a glove and look like they belong on there.
