Question Regarding Window Cranks
It turns out, my window cranks are both busted. The cranks attach to the window regulators by a simple single screw. One doesn't take a screw at all, and the other has a screw broken inside of it.
My question....am I "screwed"?
It previous posts, it was mentioned perhaps retapping the opening to fit a larger screw. Did anybody try this? I would really like to here any suggestions, I do not feel like purchasing two new window regulators for this simple problem.

I've never done it (re-tapping a hole) on a window regulator but I don't see a problem with it.
Concerning removing the broken screw, this should help:
