This is the most helpful video in all of KZread - piece of cake! Thanks!
The second you took it off my brain was like “DUH OF COURSE WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THAT.” Came off in ten seconds. Thanks bro.
Hey Mighty Mechanic, First let me start by saying that I pride myself on how mechanically inclined I am. But this handle removal got the best of me. I just couldn't figure it out. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your knowledge. I guess now I won't have to cut the plastic door panel around the handle anymore to get the door panel off. (Major Donkey Ears for ME) LOL. Kudos MM, You the Man!
This helped a ton! I’m replacing the speakers in my doors, and I genuinely thought this part would be the most difficult. But it ended up being just as easy as everything else

I am searching for this thing for 1 hour and no one explains it, your video was really helpful
Thank you. Saved me from wreckless disaster. Almost ready to to forcefully pry it off just to get my '91 door to open. 🍻
thank you SO much! it helped me remove the door panel on my dodge dakota pickup so i could bang a dent out of the door! i ended up using a miniature 5.5inch pry bar that had a skinny 90deg bend at one end. the screwdrivers didn't work for me but being able to understand what the situation looked like, i chose the other tool to accomplish the same thing.
That was extremely resourceful, as I am swapping out my manual system for the power window system. Thank you!
BIG THANK YOU! All other vids abt replacing panels omit models with manual window mechanisms! A quick tip: On my 97 Accord, one of the clips was 180 degrees backwards, and it was the easist to remove because I simply pulled the clip from the access point on the handle where one would normally push on the ends of the clip. I reinstalled all the handles with the clips back-to-front, since it's exponentially easier and faster to tremove. ON MY MODEL, at least.
Cheers bruv. Used the screwdrivers for one crank...Then realised I had the damn tool in the toolbox :P
Best removal demo yet.

TY. Helpful!
I've looked at only about 20 videos and yours is the first one I found with a manual crank.
Just about to do the speakers on my Silverados front doors. Thanks for doing this, nice video
Bro that was so helpful. I live videos that are quick and to the point
Thank you for the quick video and how-to. Much appreciated. Deleting the music/sound effects at the beginning would make it a even better.
Saved me so much time today. Thank you
Thanks my man your a champion saved my arse ❤️ from Melbourne Australia
I never knew window cranks contained wishbones. My cranks need to be painted/replaced, so this helps a lot. Thanks!
Nice video man I couldn't remember how it went back in this video helped

Omg dude thanks for the heads up... Truly helped me out of course with my Focus 🙉🙉🙉🙌🙌🙌💯😎

You’re awesome bro..!
I'm getting a '78 Ford F-150 that needs a little work, I got to replace a door panel and this will be a huge help.
Thank you brother...great video.
worked great, Thanks!
Make sure that when you're holding your window crank handle in your hand and it has to clip on it that you don't drop it because I dropped mine and it took me at least 45 minutes to figure out where that clip was and God I was livid! 😅 My window track was completely broken and I almost didn't notice that there was a bracket broken off of it and the bracket was broken and I still managed to fix the window only to drop the window crank and have the clip fly through the air and it was starting to look like a beautiful job of fixing my window is never going to be because of a 2 cent metal clip that I couldn't find so my window was never going to roll up and down well on my car none of the windows will be down except that one so I was almost didn't have any windows at all but now I can roll one down oh joy have a nice day
You saved my time and money
Super helpful👍🏼
Had a hard time w the pin but otherwise I git it! Thanks man awesome

Thanks! You can also use a thin shirt and slide it under the base of the handle to pop the retaining ring off.

Used that trick with a shop rag many times..
Great job
Didn't have luck with the dual screwdrivers, instead used a flat head and a putty knife and it worked like a charm. Thanks for posting this as it gave the base concept for getting that damn handle off.

Good call on the putty knife! My 2003 Dodge Dakota has manual windows, and the way the door card is shaped made it difficult to angle the screwdriver close to the retaining ring.
Thx bro hope i can work it as ez as you did.
Tq so much fast n easy...
wicked, thanks
Thank you!

Good looking
Thanks man
I used to have the actual tool for this. Hmmm. Wonder where that ever went. Thanks for the video.👍
Thank you for your time spent on this well done video.This was helpful
Thank u my heart ❤️
I used a hook tool and pried the door from the handle, worked great clip shot out tho had to loom forever for it. 2 flatheads prolly work too but the hook tool for me is the way to go it’s kind of shaped like a question mark ?
Ty bro
Glad I looked for a video like this before beating off with a hammer.Will this be same for my 1987 mazda b 2000?
Bro thank you so much. It helped me. I drive my friends box truck and that knob is so annoying after 17 hours
The most helpful video I’ve watched in a long time thanks
AWESOME thx
Thanks! Im using this right now lol
Thank you 😫😫 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks
i appreciate im trying to replace the exterior door opener on my jeep compass
nice
My 92 s10 handle not fully connected to roll down the window. It does work when I push on it.
Thank You!! You just saved me a big headache!! 🤙🏼
How does one go about removing the bolt for the window crank mine snapped off
Screwdrivers are great for this, but personally speaking, I usually use the 'pick and hook set' from harbor freight to make it juuuuuust a bit easier. Don't get me wrong, this is super easy, barely an inconvenience; I'm just like that.
Bought a truck with manual windows. Thought the manual regulator would be more reliable then a power one... and yet here I am
After watching this a few times and being used to using a paperclip.. I conclude this is magic.
time to tell for subscribe and intro was more detailled of the explanation of what i need to do. another scap video
Thanks hun
