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:

Airhead Parts:

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:

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:

(Can you believe the dealer still gets almost $28 each for these?!
