Default Need help quick!

Just went to take my door panel off to remove my speakers, and I have roll up windows and was totally not even thinking about it and i'm not sure how to remove the window crank so I can get it off, it's fully off, and now just bein held on by the crank! Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

There should be a little metal clip on the back side of the crank. Use a small screwdriver or pick to grab the clip, and pull it out. The crank will slide right off.

A rag works well too. The open side of the clip has little ears on it. Take a flash light and look behind the handle to see the ears, work the rag behind it and just pull in the opposite direction.

Thanks guys, got it off! So yeah, i'm gonna take the opportunity to replace my drivers side mirror that's been broken for like 3 years now while I got the door skin off, hehe!!! Anyone happen to know where I can get a drivers sideview (manual one) cheap? The stupid clip on the inside that it pivots on keeps either breaking or coming unglued or something, had it replaced under the 3 year/36,000 mile warranty three times within 6-months of owning her and then it happened again and by the time I got around to takin it in, the warranty was up, so i've just had tape on it, hehe!

Mine broke too acouple of years ago. I removed the cables and handle and I have a peice of double sided tape holding it in place. The barrels are pressed into the mirror so the mirror, cables, and handle have to be replaced. The kit is $30 through GM Parts Direct. I'll see if I can find the number.

BTW: it can be replaced with the door panel still on. You just have to pull the little trim peice off.

Nope, it's jsut the mirror itself, the kit includes a new mirror, the 3 cables, and the handle. It's all pretty much one peice, it does reuse your old housing and the brackets inside. It's simple once you get it apart.
