window cranks
Manual glass openers
Window cranks are the handles used to manually open and close car windows by rotating them.
Before power windows became standard, all vehicles had these small lever-like mechanisms mounted on the door panel.
The term now often carries nostalgic associations with older cars: My first car still had window cranks.
Also called window winders.
