crank windows? well they make a tool, thats pretty cheap.you can also use a clean shop rag between the handle and the door panel and pull on the rag to pop the clip loose, may take a few trys, but the handle should pull of. Hope this helps.

yea,
xero's got it!
the rag trick works, but claw hammers' are more fun (just kidding)
or use a couple of jeweler's screwdrivers or picks to push that little metal clip out of the way.
that tool though is only a couple of bucks at the parts store.

i guess it could be plastic or metal. it's the only thing you should see in between the door panel and on the crank handle and shaft.

i dont have a picture. thought i might have a handle laying around but i didnt. the clip usually goes into the handle holding it to the shaft. you may want that hammer :)
