Window Knob

Interior Trim

The window knob translates rotational hand motion into mechanical movement through a gear mechanism that extends or retracts the window regulator arm, raising or lowering the window glass.

The window knob is the hand-operated control mechanism attached to a shaft that manually raises and lowers the window glass in vehicles without power windows. It's typically a plastic or rubber grip with a handle mechanism that connects to the window regulator through a series of gears and linkages. Over time, the knob can crack, break, or become loose from regular use.
