Has anyone tried another type of handle to roll down your rear window?
That little T handle just doesn't seem to get the job done easily.

Hi There, Yes that T handle is a little hard and slow to operate. You could use a standard window winder handle which would work easier but would not be original. Your choice and various reproductions are available. Regards, Kevin

Take the handle off and hook a small rechargable drill to it. It will save wearing your hand out. You can hide the drill under the seat or in the glove box when not using it.

Hi thirt4, The original electric window ? Are you serious ? A joke, right.

Clamp a pair of vise grips on it like a real hot rod. LOL Walt

First ride in my '36 coupe with my wife, we didn't have any side glass on the doors and we had the windshield out, the cowl vent open and the back window down. So the car was wide open.

After about 20 minutes I said, 'This is pretty cool, but man I've got a helluva headache.' She said, 'Me too.' Then we rolled up the back window. Hasn't been down since.
