window crank clips

Post by bluegrassdan »

So I put in new speakers and in the process of removing the window cranks I lost 3 of the little metal clips. I was doing the cloth method of removing the crank handles. Can I get these anywhere or should I go out and comb my lawn?

I think I've seen those in auto parts stores, in a blister pack in the "Help" stuff, among miscellaneous little trim pieces

That's favorite method. I actually did a post on it a while back. My clips usually stay in the cloth. You don't know much other hardware I've lost in the grass over the years. I'm still missing part of a car jack that fell off my tractor while I was mowing a pasture. Amazing how grass seems to consume metal. :?

The "help" section of your local auto parts store should have the clips.
