Default Knee problem with an 07 JK 2Dr drivers window handle

This new to me JK has presented a problem with my knee cap, is their an easy fix? My left knee is hitting the window handle right at the pivot point of the handle crank..If I move the seat all the way back my knee rest on the pivot point of the window crank.. any fixes other than installing a power window? Thanks for any information to solve my problem?

You could do what I did. I had the exact same problem as you. I bought and installed Misch Big Boy seat brackets for my driver's seat. I'm 6'2" and wanted the extra leg room anyway. Once installed and the seat adjusted to where it was comfortable to me, my leg no longer touched the door handle.

Pop the handle off
and relocate it to where its not hitting your knee.

Damn $175 for two mounts, but well worth it if it solves the problem. And it looks like it will! Thanks!

Those brackets are something else. I've got a set in the TJ and it does quite a bit for changing where you sit. It should easily solve your issue.

I think I ordered direct and it was about the same, it's been a few years though.
