I believe Deek means ORIGINAL, as in OEM Genuine VW Window Cranks. Sure, there are the cheep $2 to $4.00 Window Cranks from Brazil ATEMIS. I use these on both my 84's, don't have any problems or issues myself. But some people want the kind that originally came with their ride. But originals (in Black only) are still available: Bus Depot: http://www.busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=321837581A01C Airhead Parts: http://www.airheadparts.com/viewDetail.asp?strMasterCat=&idproduct=5757 I've been looking for Brown for my 84s, but have had no luck so far. But Bus Depot still shows it on ther site: http://www.busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=321837581A90V On a related note and due to many requests, I recently had Airhead Parts add in OEM German Window Cranks (Black) that went on the the 68-74 Bugs and Buses: http://www.airheadparts.com/viewDetail.asp?strMasterCat=&idproduct=8681 (Can you believe the dealer still gets almost $28 each for these?! -- Jim Thompson 84 GL 1.9 "Gloria" 84 Westfalia 2.1 "Ole Putt" 72 411 Station Wagon "Pug" oldvolkshome@gmail.com http://www.oldvolkshome.com *********************************** On Sat, Jul 18, 2009 at 5:05 PM, dj <djct2@yahoo.com> wrote: > Does anyone have or know where I can get at a good price the original > window > cranks, not the after market ones for my 86 vanagon.
