SE GI window cranks -- small windows flapping in the breeze

[Helenozee]

Hello! I'm back for more help, if I can find it.

My 2006 Fleetwood Discovery 35H has these little windows in the back underneath the bigger windows. They open by swinging upward and out via cranks. The cranks say SE GI on them, which is apparently who made my windows, some of which are fogging. In trying to find these parts, I found that apparently that's a common problem with their windows, and they need to be removed, fixed, and replaced. Dang it!

Back to the cranks. The two little windows on the passenger side will open all the way, but when I close them, it gets to a point where turning the cranks doesn't bring them all the way in tightly, so they flap in the breeze.

I'm attaching pics of what they look like. Anyone know where to find/how to fix these so the windows stop flapping? I've been googling window crank parts and the brand name, and I don't see a single picture that shows my cranks.

The first two pics are with the crank taken off.

Thanks in advance for any helpful hints.

Helen

The SE -GI window crank mechanism problem has been widespread though the years.

I'm sure the experts here can help you through it but I'll give you a few place to look at while you're waiting:

Here's an old thread pertaining to a Fleetwood:

bedroom window crank stripped

And here's an interesting video pertaining a Wlinnebago Class B but it appears to be similar to your window crank mechanism: go HERE

Try this place, although appears they replace windows but you never know what they have.

The video WAS interesting. Not sure if I'd have the confidence to try it. Too bad so many of these windows were installed on such expensive vehicles. :(

Thanks for the tips!

That looks like a Hehr window crank. If the window will not crank in tightly the operator may be stripped.
