Default best aftermarket window crank?

The **** on the chintzy OEM window cranks in my 1979 SC is splitting and the ebay one that I just sourced has an even worse **** made out of flimsy rubber that flexes when you grab it to open/close the window (how is it possible that aftermarket manufacturers get it so wrong....)

Does anyone have a good aftermarket window crank option in aluminum with a real bearing or bushing connecting the **** that wont need to be replaced every year?

i am thinking of something anodized aluminum, like the below (which I don't think has correct spline count to fit)





TIA for any ideas!

Try going to GOWESTY and look at their VW window cranks.

3D print from a stock one?

I like the looks of the ones posted

decades ago, Villem B. Haan made something similar...
