Are those window cranks the originals? I have 3 out of 4 of my originals and decided to buy the repo ones from Ames and the fit is terrible. I have to use a file to increase the inside spline area and its taking forever. Anyway, thanks again.

Thanks!
I ordered all 4 of my handles from Ames and they fit fine. This is what I ordered back in December of '21, 2 of J133AD and 2 of F184KD. I did have to replace both door window regulators and one of the rears although I don't know if that makes any difference or not.

I have not observed any better fitment personally.

Yup. The guy is really amazing. Although I don't think perfection is attainable with these tops, I think it's as close as it gets. He is 84 years old and probably been doing interiors for 65 of those. He did mention these tops are very hard ones to do and it was taxing on his body at his age. I am grateful he was willing to do it for me.
