What types of window cranks are available for a Corolla?

Owing to its simplicity, you can find window cranks for your Toyota Corolla in a variety of Original Equipment Manufacturer, or OEM, as well as aftermarket designs. OEM models can be found either brand new or second-hand. Both will provide a high level of satisfaction. Most aftermarket varieties come in a basic black color.

Another aftermarket option is chrome cranks. These add a touch of classic style to your Toyota Corolla, not to mention adding an extra level of durability. When it comes to the window regulators, most models are OEM models. When you select one, be sure you select one for the door you are working on, as they differ in size and shape between different doors.

How do you replace a crank on a Corolla?

The crank on your Toyota Corolla is made up of a few different parts. The part youre most likely to need to replace is the crank handle. If you have a handle removal tool, replacing the handle is as simple as sliding the tool behind the handle and pulling out, then popping the new one into place. Without that tool, you can use two paper clips to remove it.

  • First, open both paper clips and bend the end of one at a 90 degree angle.
  • Second, insert that paper clip between the crank turner and the washer behind the handle to pull back on the handles pin.
  • Third, use the other open paper clip to pull up on the pin until the pin pops out.
  • Fourth, remove the old handle by pulling out on it, then insert the pin into the new handle and pop it into place. Test your Toyota Corolla for proper operation.
