Window cranks handle wobble?

My drivers side manual window crank handle wobbles in circle so when I try and crank the window it will get stuck and I have to do a lot of annoying work to get the window up or down. Anyone had this issue and know how to fix it?

Welcome to the forum

You will need to replace the "regulator" in the drivers door, Left Hand door
The regulator is the part the has the gears to move the window up and down

Manual Regulators run about $35 new, 1/2 that at wrecking yards
Electric are different

They are held in place by rivets, usually 3 on the manual cranks, you need to drill these out and replace with short nuts/bolts/screws, or you can use rivets again

There were two manual regulator models, and there is a Left hand side and Right hand side(passenger door), so really 4 models, lol
1983 to 1992 Rangers
1993 to 2011 Rangers

You may need a new Crank handle if its been worn out by failing regulator and extra force you were using on it

Google: ford ranger manual window regulator replacement

Electric or manual replacement are basically the same so watch the videos for either
