Vetter Window Operator

Question

Have a Vetter window (installed 1992) with Truth operator hardware. The cylinder shaped piece standing upright in picture below is not functioning as the lower end has fractured/stripped grooved ring. The window cranks out OK, but with the lower grooved ring being cracked, the window is not able to be cranked close. I see 40575 stamped on arm of operator if that helps. The cylinder shaped piece that turns the gears is what I need to replace. Let me know if you can help!

Thanks,
Doug R.

Looks like your worm gear is stripped out. This can't be repaired or replaced, unfortunately; you need an all new operator.

The best match in our inventory appears to be our 39-217. Carefully compare this to your existing part to confirm that everything lines up. If they differ, let me know and we can find you something better.
