How do you remove the window crank from the manual window doorsills? Was about to take a flathead screwdriver to it, but thought twice ...

 

there is a little metal clip that hides behind the window crank that pins it to the regulator. what u do is get a little pick and pull it right out and off comes the handle

 

yep, that will do the trick.

just look under the crank, there's a small rectangular shaped opening just enough to insert the flat tip of the screw driver. slowly pry that U-shaped clip that locks the crank/handle from the shaft.

see the pic. sorry for my poor illustration

Once you do it, you'll think it's soooo easy from then on.

 

use a peice of string to pop it rigth out

 

Use one of these and keep it real

 

Thanks for all the replies . I was originally gonna just pull the crank off haha, good thing I didn't .

 

You can also remove the clip with a grease rag..
Drag it through and catch one end of the clip..

To re-install,position the clip as shown in the second picture,
Hold the handle in the postion you want it and give it a slight smack
and it will pop right on..

I was just about to suggest this! Works like a charm.

 

I was rolling up my window on driver side when it just got harder to turn and it just shattered
now I need to replace it but where do I start to remove the side panel
