there is a special tool you can get in that "help section" at napa or autozone or whereever...it looks like a big flat wrench, kinda has a square u shape in it, kinda hard to explain, but that does the trick. thats what its for, it costs about $2-3.00. window cranks have a weird clip in them. its a pain in the ***, and I hate doing it. i just left the window crank off in my car, and it rides on the floor board. whenever i wanna put the window down, i just find the handle and slap it on real quick. dam im lazy.

Yeah its the biggest paint in the *** man
You have to like push your door panel out as much as you can to try and pop out that clip
Both mine are left uninstalled right now and I just grab one when I feel like rolling it down for an officer, lost the clips

yeah those lil c clips are bastards. ive busted a window taking one out. it just flew off and i was like... where did it go, then i heard a ping, and the window shattered like all the way on the other side of the schools gerage. i found the clip though.
