Post Window handle

Both of my window handles have broken off of my door and as a result my window cranks have been stripped. Whats the easiest way to put handles on it Do I need to replace the cranks or is there and easier way?

Hey BC, you need to get a door handle removal tool. They push the spring steel clip from the handle and makes removal very easy. Any auto parts store will have them, under $10.00. You can then check and make sure you didn't strip the regulator. Also, you can pick up new window handles at the parts store or go to a wrecking yard and pop some off another truck or GM car.
