They sound good, however, the speaker covers are a bit higher
than the original speaker covers and the window crank hits them ever
so slightly.

Ric,
Check the archives.  There are lots of suggestions regarding spacers and other window cranks (Ford Taurus) that may solve your problem.  I used cranks from an A2 (late 80's) Jetta in our van.  I was able to match the brown interior of our '85.  You can also try to slightly modify the grill on your speakers to give an extra 1 or 2 mm of clearance.
