EMPI Chrome Window Crank for Porsche 914, 1970–1972

The EMPI 98-5413-B is a chrome window crank handle that replaces part number 113 837 581 D, the crank fitted to early Porsche 914s from 1970–1972. It mounts on the window regulator shaft inside each door, so a car needs two, one per door. A crank that has cracked at the base or worn loose on the shaft makes the glass hard to work, and a new handle fixes it.

The 914 changed cranks partway through production. Later cars from 1973–1976 use the 111 837 581 J crank, the black heavy-duty style that EMPI also makes for 1968–1974 VW Beetles as 98-1042. Check the part number or shape of the crank on your car before ordering, especially if the doors or regulators have been swapped over the years. EMPI's other VW cranks include 98-1041 for 1975–1979 Beetles and 98-1069 or 98-1070 for 1956–1967 Beetles, none of which are early 914 parts.
