'95 Lumina Sedan: Auto windows to manual?

So I have a 1995 Lumina Sedan (not van), and my drivers side windows doesn't work anymore. I took off the door cover to inspect the motor, and clearly the motor and surrounding assembly has undergone damage. I messed with it for a bit, but to no avail.

I noticed that even though my model has electric windows, the entire assembly for a manual window is there. I just need the right handle, and to drill a hole through the door cover (which is mapped out already).

So here's my question: Where can I find a suitable window crank for my model?

Most parts stores.

I was hoping for a link, since my car never seemed to have manual windows standard and I'm not sure what I'm looking for.

This is a manual regulator from a '96 Lumina:

The crank pinion is riveted into the regulator in a different position than the motor, and the mechanism obviously includes more than just the crank handle.

So it's called a pinion? The part that connects the handle to the gear? All I can find is the standalone handle for the APV model. Here's a picture of my door. Where can I find the whole unit? Is there a search term I should use?
