windows help needed

The house window kind, this time.

We have Andersen casement windows.  The window operator has a little plastic housing over it.  On some of these windows, the plastic housing has popped off.  When I have replaced the operator with new hardware, the act of cranking the window shut causes the handle to pull against the plastic housing and pop it out again.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?  I have already left a comment on one article about fixing casement window cranks, the only one on the Web I can find that mentions this problem at all.

I might not be so desperate if we had not already fixed the cranks (or so I thought) only to find the day before a scheduled home inspection that several of them are still malfunctioning.
