Ya sure that the clip isn't just hiding REAL close to the crank handle? They can be a bugger to spot sometimes.
There's a tool made for removing those clips that'll get 'em out every time whether ya can see 'em or not. Cheap, easy to use tool.
simple fix
take a rag cut it into a strip about 1-3 inches wide and about a foot long, pry the crank up enough to slide the rag under and run it back and forth untill u find the clip and pop it out, simple as that
getting the window crank off
