Plastic washers under window cranks?
« on: April 25, 2008 - 08:38:57 PM »
Are the plastic washers that go under the window cranks different from front to back?  If so, how thick are the front ones? 

I bought a set of repo cranks from PG classics, very nice parts, but the washers seem too thin?  The crank rubs the door panel, I'm wondering if they sent the wrong parts.

Anyone have an original they can measure?

Thx

Thanks for the link!

I guess the thin one does go up front.  I'll have to look at it again tomorrow, somethings not right.

Mine are 5/16" which I believe is not the thinnest, this is on a '73 Challey

  If the trim is hitting the handle, it may have a spring behind that is too strong or the padding is too thick.   :2cents:

Plastic door panels.........  But they could be bulging the wrong way because of a spring. :2thumbs:
