The window regulator gear that the handle fits on is worn down and the handle does not fit snugly and slips when attempting to roll the window up or down. Is there any solution other than replacing the entire regulator?

If you are capable of metal work/machine shop work you might be able to make one, but it will take some work and time. Otherwise I think you'll have to replace the entire regulator.

A previous owner "fixed" the shaft on one of my regulators by filing a flat area on it making it into a D shape. The set screw on the handle contacted the new flat area.

The real problem was the handle. It's made of softer material than the shaft so the teeth were worn out. A new handle was the proper fix.

Make sure the problem really the shaft; not the handle.
