Interior door handle and window handle positions?
« on: April 30, 2017, 01:17:02 AM »
I was curious, been looking at a million photos trying to determine what position I should set the interior door and window handles at. Did Ford have a sort of set position or was it just kind of all over the place. The door handles on a standard interior door handle seems some what obvious, but the window crank handle could be anywhere.

How do most of you set these up?

Thanks,

I have mine to where the door handle and the window handle are pointing at like 10 o'clock when they are closed or rolled up

That's where I have them set currently too, but was wondering if there was an actual set position they used from the factory, although I'm not sure that actually exist ;)

Documented with text and a drawing in the Mustang Body Assembly Manuals. I recommend you get a set for your year car.
