Window Crank Repair Trick (for cranks that slip out when closing a window)

Hi everyone. My brother and I discovered a cool trick to repair a window crank that slides/pops out every time you try to close your window (a common problem, it seems). We're not experts and are not sure if all window cranks / operators are built like ours with the same hole...so for that reason, this trick might not work in all instances. However, we thought we would share it on here regardless as it's stressful trying to repair these things, and we figured any information might be helpful to someone. Below, we've included links to other videos that offer fixes as well (these helped us a lot). Please like and comment if this worked for you!
