Every time I shut the door my window crank comes off. Any recommendations to do something to get those teeth to hold - they're not stripped, but ever since I took the door panel off to do some work behind there it never stayed on well.

Thanks in advance.

There is a screw that holds it on. Did you forget to put it back?

According to PET, you need an M6 × 10 mm 'selbstsichernd' (self securing?) hex bolt. I suspect any standard M6 bolt will do.

you have to gently pull the plastic back to reveal the screw under the opposite end to the winding knob.

Its not a standard bolt, its a special flush screw that allows the plastic part to snap back on over it.

Dunno what PET or fastener you`re looking at there mike.

That screw is actually M5 x 8 countersunk, philips head. In a 77 and 80 anyway.

Sure if you went to your local bolt shop and asked for one you would get a smirk and a freebie.

I wasn't sure myself, but it was the only one anywhere near the winder crank on the diagram...

Sorry if I've misled - no liability accepted or implied!
