Foam cushion that goes on manual window crank shaft

Goes on the shaft behind the door panel. One of mine is missing, and the other looks like most any other 35 year old piece of foam. LMC catalog does not show it. Does anyone make these?

Re: Foam cushion that goes on manual window crank shaft

I wonder if I could use these?

They show as for GM passenger cars. Look "shorter" than mine, perhaps I can stack them up?

They keep the door panel from deflecting in a lot when pushed

You could also cut a donut from a piece of closed cell foam tubing (the onepiece, unslitted type) used for HVAC insulation.
