    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!

    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.

    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.

    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
