Volkswagen Jetta MKIV Manual Window Crank Clip

youmagine

Just about everything on the Jetta MKIV is made of plastic, which quickly becomes old and brittle. The plastic clip inside the retaining ring for the manual window crank will eventually break if you have to remove the crank more than once or twice. This part replaces the one that broke. You can see the window crank and its black retaining clip in this picture: This part didn't slice perfectly, but it still seems to work just fine. I ended up making the top wall very thin so that the pin on the crank would slide smoothly over the clip. Unfortunately, when I printed the track for the ring, it went all the way through the wall. I printed this part in PLA, and it's a bit too stiff. Printing in ABS might be just what it needs.
