Taligate Lock / Window winder issue

[eighteenninetytwo]

soooo got the 75 back - SO much fun driving it again. However I need to be able to wind the window down to open the tailgate. The old handle had no key so the shop had to take it off to paint and couldn't replace it. They recut the cylinder for a new key and set it in an new assembly. HOWEVER, the old cylinder just falls out of the assembly and I cannot get the window open. ANYONE know where I can buy a DECENT rear gate winder / handle??

I think most venders have them. I got a new one for my 74 but don't remember where??
Try the usual-Brothers, Classic, etc.

Lmc doesn't have something?

i got one from LMC but the new lock cylinder just fell out of it. I intended to use the old one but twas destroyed so back to the new one then the old cylinder simply fell out of that one too. clearly there is someting missing or not quite right.

I replaced the lock cylinder in my 79 several years ago, it was frustrating getting the new cylinder to seat in the crank. I didn't have any instructions and I don't remember what it took, but after half hour or so fiddling with it I finally got it to seat and lock in place. I know that's not very helpful, but don't give up on it.
