any suggestions on how to replace the knobs on window handles?
thanks | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | what year? can you get the replacements? might be obvious from what they supply
Bill | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 12 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 12 | the knobs i was referring to are on the window crank handle on a 46 chevy truck. apparently the knobs are pressed into the handle after they are heated? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | I don't know if replacement are offered for a 46 but rarely were OEM knobs designed to be replaced. Aftermarket suppliers have designed replacement knobs that can be attached to the handles. I've not personally used them but I believe they are held in place with a large head screw. Even if you can't find specific 46 knobs you can probably find knobs that fit your handles.

I believe you can drill out the old. I can look at the new ones tonight and let you know as I'm at work now. Good luck and have fun.

would be interesting to find out how you fared with drilling the old ones out.

I changed my approach. I cut the handle off with a hacksaw just under the knob. I then used a punch and with a couple of licks it popped out. The new one has a metal stud with ribs and just pushes in. Can take pictures if you need. Good luck and have fun
