1971 C3 Window Crank
Can anyone recommend where to obtain quality window cranks for my '71 C3 ?.
The present ones are very loose and the passenger side will no longer hold in place and just slips (it has to be pushed in and cranked at the same time to operate).I even removed the door trim and cut away the foam to reduce the thickness but without luck.
I have read that the splines on the China repos are not deep enough and fail after a short time.

Try Bairs I bought LH & RH rebuilt regulators for manual windows from them and they worked perfect fixed all my issues with the windows.

The new handle on the left has a deeper spline that extends to the C clip groove, the handle on the right was barely engaging with the crankshaft spline.
