Hope this helps someone else. Not trying to reinvent the wheel, as I am a beginner, but get super excited when we discover an easy solution to a frustrating restoration task.
After reading some threads about using a screwdriver, thin dish towel (all ours are thick) and curved items to "snag" the Omega clip, my husband struggled for nearly 45 minutes and still no clip removal! Husbands like help about as much as they like asking for directions. Sorry fellow C3 dudes.
As a medical person, I have tons of gauze roll laying around.... so, I thought, well that surely will work as well as a thin rag, if not better.
Passenger side popped right out. Thank you thread members for even teaching me me how to get it off, having NOT a clue when I started!
They sell a wide flat generic tool to remove the window cranks for all older GM cars. I cut mine down narrower to allow me to use it to remove the door lock button with the omega clip on it. All auto parts stores use to have this tool for sale cheap! Lou.
Hey thanks for the tip, I was using a normal rag which I couldn't get to work but I had it off in 30 seconds with the gause

Yep, you are right. These were the ones on the door, I think I have the originals but the rubber was in bad shape. What year is the one pictured? With all the random things on this car, it may not even be a corvette part :o)
Great tip. You never know when you are sitting in front of a doctors office and need to get your window crank off ! No seriously though , that is a good tip. American ingenuity at work .
