Default removing window "crank" (eg)

ok well my window came off its track today and I got everything loose except for the window crank. I know there is a c-clamp on it, anyone know the easiest way to get it off?

i use a smaller allen wrench or small eye glass screwdriver. u can either just feel what side the clamp is facin or just push on the door gently til u can see it. then just push on 1 arm of the clamp til its not in the groove anymore then do the same on the other. just dont push to hard on the 2nd side else itll shoot off. and u dont wanna lose it

Get a peice of stiff wire and bend it at the end to about 90 degrees. Then, loop it around the clip and pull up, using caution with your eyes. That's how I always do it, or lately I've been using a flathead but it's harder that way. I do believe they have tools to do that.
