Window crank removal
Anyone give me a tip to remove my window crank so I can get the door panel off? I looked in my AIM and was expecting to see some type of clip and use my removal tool but there doesn't appear to be a clip.

the clip that holds it on looks like this 
they make a tool to remove it but a small screw driver will work too to unhook it.
or a dental tool or anything with a sturdy hook

window crank clips ?
Many moons ago when I was just learning about cars, from an older wiser car guy, I asked what these clips are called ?
he told me they are called Jesus clips !
I questioned why ? .... he demonstrated, by dislodging the clip,
and yelled out, as the clip went flying off ,
Jesus where did that thing go !!!

I found that while trying to reach those things, it helps to push the door panel in around the handle. It will move a small amount and give you a better chance at grabbing the clip. The hook works the best.
