crank windows? well they make a tool, thats pretty cheap.you can also use a clean shop rag between the handle and the door panel and pull on the rag to pop the clip loose, may take a few trys, but the handle should pull of. Hope this helps.

yea,
xero's got it!
the rag trick works, but claw hammers' are more fun (just kidding)
or use a couple of jeweler's screwdrivers or picks to push that little metal clip out of the way.
that tool though is only a couple of bucks at the parts store.

thanks on the part, i went out and got it it was like 5 bux but anywho..

i was looking and i found a plastic ring is this what you were talking about?

i dont knnow if that is in fact the "clip" or if theres something else that im missing

its around a metal stick in between the plastic handle and the inside door panel

wow i know nothing about interiors...or doors for that matter.

HELP ME PLZ!!

Thanks,
Dan

i guess it could be plastic or metal. it's the only thing you should see in between the door panel and on the crank handle and shaft.

thANK U SO MUCH!!!!!

i apreciate the help

i dont have a picture. thought i might have a handle laying around but i didnt. the clip usually goes into the handle holding it to the shaft. you may want that hammer :)
