Default C2 Vent Window Question

Which direction does the pass side "vent window" crank turn to open the window? Mine opens clockwise but the pass side "side window" opens counter clockwise. Both drivers side windows open clockwise.

Thanks.
That is what seems backwards to me. The pass side, side window, opens counter clockwise. I would have thought both windows on the same side would open the same way? Like the drivers side windows do.

I got an email notification of a post from you but I can't see it in this thread. You said;
"The vent window crank should run in the same direction as the door window crank on either side... Over-the-top, towards the front to open, and over-the-top, towards the back to close."
This is they way I thought it should work. Any ideas how to fix it without replacing the whole regulator?

That's correct. The vent window cranks on both sides turn clockwise to open, but the main windows are different; the driver's side is clockwise to open, and the passenger side is counter-clockwise to open. The vent window regulators are RH and LH parts, and it's impossible to install them on the "wrong" side - they have two screws toward the front, and one screw and the input shaft toward the rear.
