removing window cranks

Kind of embarassed here...i cannot figure out how to renove my window cranks in my 70 maverick...do they just pop off or what?

 

There's a screw in the center of the crank on my 73, I would assume a 70 would be the same though.

 

The centwr is solid...no screw there and the center doenbt look like it pops out

 

There is a Phillips head screw hiding under a very thin (read: bendable) cover that is held in place with adhesive. Gently pop that off the center of the handle and you will have access to the screw. I believe these covers disappeared in '73.

I was able to re-install my covers without adding any more adhesive. This stuff stays tacky for a long time. I used a small pick to pry the cover off.

 

Holy cow...ur the man....the little silver cover peels off...it looks seemless until u start to try to peel it...thanks!

 

No worries. If you bugger them up, you can live without them. If you can't live without them, they are still available for about $1.50 each.

AutoKrafters sells them in their Maverick catalog on pg.15. Most other Mustang/Ford vendors would also carry them.

 

i managed to get em out without damaging them...just used a really sharp pointed knife

 

Glad you asked this question because I couldn't figure it out either I was taking the door panel off and had to stop and come in to search the forum for the answer
