I'm trying to get the door panels out to install some new speakers but I can't get the manual window crank off. I know there's a special tool for it but I have no idea where to find one. I've tried using a screwdriver and other stuf but I can't get it off. Does anyone know how I can get this off without breaking it???

 

Slide a rag between the crank and door panel, should catch the clip and pop it out for you.

 

they make a little tool at any local parts store, only maybe ten dollars.... saves alot of time and agrivation, along with will not break the handle or panel

 

I went to Advance Auto parts to see if they had one and the person said he'd never heard of it. Do you have a link or something?

 

So just for clarification the only thing I need to do is pull out the retaining clip right? I'm not squeezing it together, pushing it in, or anything like that correct?

EDIT:
Just found this:
http://www.carstereohelp.com/stereor...ndowCrankR.htm gonna go check and see if I can get it now.

 

Got it with the rag. Thanks for the tip.

 

u must of talked to a complete retard at advance, i would bet u they r in stock for about ten dollars.... glad u got it though

 

I never tried it with a rag. Do you pull the rag side to side? (left to right)

 

Basically. If you go to that link I posted it shows it pretty well. All you have to do is pull the crank out a little so you can see where the clip is and then put the rag where one of the ends are and it will catch and pop it right off. 20 seconds and you're done.
