Quick project on Van Halen between other projects. Both rear window handles had the knobs fall off a while back. I tried unsuccessfully to reattach using a brass washer. Then I stumbled upon this thread. I used inside locks instead of outside locks. Found a socket that fit then gently tapped it onto the shaft. The knobs still turn freely (careful not to push the lock ring in too far) and will likely never come off again.

Looks like a great solution!
