Buick35 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Other than trying to locate a new handle,what's the best way to keep the handle from slipping on the inside splines? I thought a set screw would work but if there's a better way,please let me know,Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buick35 Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 Never mind,I used 8-32 set screws, works good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I would strongly recommend finding another handle as soon as reasonably possible. I had a similar situation on my truck, and it didn't take long to destroy the splines on the window regulator. If I had just fixed it right in the first place, I wouldn't have had to buy a window regulator and tear the door completely apart. It's my own damn fault, as the handle for my truck is far easier to get than one for a 35 Buick. I probably could have bought one on ebay the same day it failed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 To add a few thousandths I use aluminum foil on loose threads. That should also work if any splines are left in the handle until you find a new handle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
