how do you take the door panels off my lock broke and i cant unlock or lock the car from the outside . works fine frome the inside i cant get the window handle to come off and i dont rly want to break it

 

There is a small metal retainer clip behind the door handle. Take a thin piece of metal (butter knife works in a pinch) and slide it between the handle and the door. The clip is horseshoe shaped and the open end faces the handle ****. Be careful, they are known as "OH **** CLIPS" in the industry.....they take off if your not watching.

number 17 is what the clip looks like. and if you look down your window winder in the direction that the arrow is pointing, that is the easiest way to see it.

 

Howdy neighbor!
This is an '88 model:

Dont lose the OH **** CLIPS!!!!

If your at home youll prolly never find one again lol

 

If you don't have a special tool:
One "old mechanic's trick" is to drag an thin,old grease rag
along the seam where the ends are and the clip will snag
in the towel and pop out..

 

great pics there. a lot better than my diagram. and damn if i don't see original crx floor mats in that pic.
