sorry video did not upload here is a pic. This knob is loose and I do not know how to tighten

I don’t think it can be tightened. Lift up the black cover and remove handle from door to see the backside of the knob.

It's not adjustable. Just went through this.

Great advise and I did remove the black cover to get the entire crank off and it does not appear it can be tightened...unless does can the black dot be removed?

Time to find a used window crank!

That knob is riveted (smash type rivet bolt) to the crank, take a look on rivet from the rear side, if rivet head sits tight on the crank, it mean plastic part of knob is worn out from inside.

That small knob should be loose enough to turn. If the whole winding handle is wobbly, you must be missing the plastic cup & spring that hold it firmly to the splined spindle.

Definitely not an over-engineered part.

Just checked my spare, it’s really wobbly.

They are in many cases. For sure this is not the best reference for BMW-quality.

Good in a bad is the crank is not the part being difficult to find around.

I just bought a new one from W&N. In for a penny, in for a pound...

 

[Wobdog]

What is W&N?

 

[Oldbmwcoupes]

A German supplier of all sorts of parts for e9s. As you read more on the forum you will become well acquainted with them: Walloth & Nesch. Ansberg, Germany
