How do i remove the window handles on my '92 Civic Hatchback. I'm trying to swap out my speakers and i need to take off the whole door panel to get to two of the screws. I've gotten everything off except the window handles which don't let me take the panel off. Please help.

 

they made special clip tools for this, but you can probably puch the C-clip off with a flat head screwdriver.

 

where is the c clip?

 

its located behind the handle,between the handle and door panel get on your knees and look there you will see it..i used a flat head and pushed it out..

 

if u make a hook with a paperclip, it comes right out..like 305accord said, its between the handle and the door panel. u have to either pull or push on the handle to be able to see it..not too hard though.

after u locate it..it should be a gold clip..take your paperclip and hook it onto the gold clip and pull it, dont lose it...it might pop out and hide somewhere.

if that was too confusing, go with 305's idea. i've never tried that way, but it works for him.

 

u can by a window crank remover for 5 bucks... or use a hooked pick tool. i do it on a daily basis and the hook probably works best.

 

a flat head works perfect...

 

are you swapping the speaker plates too. you can get to all the speaker screws just by popping off the grill

 

u know i wish i would've read that last post before i spent all that time in my car cuz i totally just realized it after i had both door panels off that the screws i thought i need to get to.....were for the plastic casing around the speaker!!! and not the speaker itself!!!

oh well the knowledge will come in hand when i decide to put component speakers in and change my upholstery......thanx for all your help everyone.
