    Window Crank HELP

    alright, ive been searching through here and have KIND of found what i need, but not entirely.
    my window must have slipped off the track, ill find out when i get the panel off, but thats the problem
    i have the entire panel ready to come off, but i cant get the crank handle off. i know there is a pin holding it on, ive taken cranks off of other cars, but my question is this: is the pin between the plastic and cardboard, or behind one of them?
    i cant see the pin between the two, and i need to get this panel off ASAP (like tonight)
    PLEASE HELP (pictures are more than welcome)

    yeah its between them, it's a spring clip & if you have something like a fat flat head screw driver you can press the clip out and the crank should just slide off then. if that made no sense i can take a pic for you

    yeah, a pic would help alot. im gonna go dick around with it for a minute, but ill check back shortly. the stock foam around it is getting in my way as well, so its hard to see everything out in the open without the crap all around it

    I am not advocating that you buy it here, but I have one of these and it makes removing manual window handles so easy you will kick yourself for not buying one sooner.

    ive always just slid a rag in there and moved it back and forth until the pin pops out. takes like 10 seconds.
