[VAC] Re: '64 Overlander Windows



i had a sudden recollection of my '65 Globetrotter's windows... it had no
latches, only a crank. at some point, the crank on one 'stopped working' in
the way you described: it would push the window open, but would not hold it
closed... the crank mechanism has a 'worm-gear' type of thing, and had
become detached at the extreme end of its travel... in other words, by
over-tightening it, i'd pulled the end of the crank from its attachment
point on the window... so, it would still push the window open, and gravity
would allow the window to close when cranked down, but wouldn't hold it
closed... is that as clear as mud?

Happy Holidays!
