Thanks to all that responded both on the list and privately via e-mail to my
question about interference between the new Kenwood speaker grilles in the
front doors of my westy and the window winders.  Each response was different
and I think all were good solutions.  Since the vehicle is a beater (all be
it a much loved, clean, and well maintained beater), I opted for the quick
and dirty solution of bending the winder handles.  These appear to be cast
aluminum and quite brittle.  By bending slowly and carefully I was able to
gain the half inch extra clearance I required.  The bent handles don't feel
much different than before and operate easily.

By the way, I am really enjoying the new stereo I installed in the westy.
It is an AIWA MP3/CD device with an infrared remote that mounts on the
steering wheel.  These devices are available on ebay for $235.00.  This
stereo allows me to listen to over 600 MB of MP3 content that I burn onto
$0.30 media.  Depending on encoding rates, that is over 10 hours of music.
I have also burned book on tape content on the CD's.  This really makes the
time fly as I motor down the freeway at 55mph powered by 47 whopping diesel
horses.
