Maybe this is going too far, but when window crank handles were installed at the factory, were they put on in a certain position? You know, pointed any particular direction, or just put on so that both sides were the same with windows up.

Window's rolled up,and the cranks with the knob pointing down.Had customer lose point's at a car show for them not being pointed down with the window's up.

I figured there had to be some way they were supposed to go. I wonder if that is the "correct" way everywhere. Thanks

The correct window crank position in my car is when the knob doesn’t hit my knee with the window up or down. ;)

I want to meet that judge. I don't believe that that is correct.
I removed handles from many GM Cars when I was younger and I would always try to put them back in the same position that I took them off. I remember most of them being at 10:00 on the passenger side when the window was up.

HAHA, Good one Steve. That crossed my mind too when I asked the question. I had a feeling it was a bit too far out there, was curious though. I wound up putting my rear cranks at 9 0'clock, just cause that's where I thought they looked OK.
Thanks for the answers guys.

When I started in the body business in 65 , I was taught to always put the window crank straight down with window up. The reason given was, in this position the crank won't jiggle down on bumpy roads and cause the window to whistle. :yes:

With the knob at 6 o'clock position, the knob hits the knee. I go for 3 o'clock, as Jimmy suggests, the weight always keeps the window closed. JMT's, but then, I'm not for Concours.

My car doesn't have this "problem" (LOL).

Something I wondered about abstractly back in the early 80s on my 1st rebuild
I found a couple old photos of new car interiors
1 had the 6 oclock the other about 7:30 (couldnt tell if am or pm)
I use to 7:30 to me its out of the way and looks asetically good.

Use a digital clock, so you don't have to worry about am/pm. :)
