Title: "knob problem" Post by: knickers on August 10, 2005, 10:49:43 AM 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 Title: Re: "knob problem" Post by: Shayne on August 10, 2005, 11:12:46 AM 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. Title: Re: "knob problem" Post by: knickers on August 10, 2005, 10:58:01 PM 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

I found it works wonders for my stuck knobs. Title: Re: "knob problem" Post by: cer444 on August 11, 2005, 07:18:10 AM Nickers, you just shouldn't have asked.
Title: Re: "knob problem" Post by: JB on August 11, 2005, 10:22:45 AM Will that little bit of oil mean that your hand will slip off the end?
;D Title: Re: "knob problem" Post by: Sarge on August 11, 2005, 07:54:36 PM Sounds like age and lack of use have caught up with your knob. Just keep rubbing something will give sooner or later. :)

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 ?? Cheers Nick LTMS (laughing to my self) Title: Re: "knob problem" Post by: JB on August 12, 2005, 10:41:08 AM Let me get this straight...
You have two knobs, They are both stiff! And only elbow grease will fix them? Title: Re: "knob problem" Post by: gp on August 12, 2005, 07:27:35 PM Way too much information Jason :P
Title: Re: "knob problem" Post by: FC58q on August 12, 2005, 09:16:06 PM I put lubricant on my knob and it would not penetrate so I still have stiff knobs in the ute 8)
