"knob problem"

[knickers]

Probably a stupid question to most - but is the black window winder 'knob' meant to rotate when winding the window up/down, I have choice of 5 for my ute & all 5 'knobs' don't rotate at all

Cheers Nick

lack of knob rotation would be an issue resulting in too much friction when knob makes contact with hand ;)

Better try to free up contact between knob and window winder if possible.

[knickers]

Yeah Shayne I would have expected them to but what made me ask is mine seem to be so tight - as if they were not meant to turn, thought if they were just gummed up they should free up with a bit of effort, maybe more effort is needed. (maybe its knob rot) LOL

Get a few drops of light oil around your knob and just work it one night while in front of the tellie or something.

I found it works wonders for my stuck knobs.

Nickers, you just shouldn't have asked.

Will that little bit of oil mean that your hand will slip off the end?

 ;D

Sounds like age and lack of use have caught up with your knob. Just keep rubbing something will give sooner or later. :)

Thanks guys for all the 'professional' help.
After some intense twisting, turning & plenty of oil one of my 'knobs' is not as stiff now - so will try my other 'knob' tonight.

Settle down Smithy - and no this IS the FE/FC forum for certain - you should always read the question first !!

Sarge age maybe part of the problem but lack of use should'nt be - well I don't think so anyway ??

Let me get this straight...

You have two knobs,

They are both stiff!

And only elbow grease will fix them?

Way too much information Jason   :P

I put lubricant on my knob and it would not penetrate so I still have stiff knobs in the ute  8)

Patience and Perseverance is the key.
