Detailed Description

Dorman 76946M is a manual window crank handle built for older Ford and Mercury applications that use a threaded, 16-spline shaft. The upgraded metal arm and splines address a common failure point in original handles, especially when regulator lubrication dries out and extra turning force strips the splines or cracks the handle. The black finish and black knob provide a straightforward interior appearance, and the design follows the original equipment layout while using stronger materials in key wear areas. This part cross-references E6DZ5423342AMETAL for the same application.

• Interior handle failure from age and repeated use

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses a threaded, 16-spline manual window crank shaft before ordering. The knob design differs slightly from the original equipment style, so replacing matching handles across the vehicle can help maintain a consistent interior appearance. For Ford E-Series vans, Ford F-150, Ford Bronco, Ford Ranger, and Mercury Sable applications, confirm the shaft attachment and handle shape against the existing part before installation.

Quality Assurance

Dorman OE FIX parts are engineered as upgraded replacements for common original part failures. Part number 76946M uses metal construction in the spline and arm areas to improve durability over the original design.
