window lever removal problems

Jul 29, 2008 2 Replies

I am changing the sound system on my 2002 accent and I can?t get my window lever off. Consequently, I can?t take the door pannel off so no music for me yet!!! Is the window lever press fitted??? How can I get it off?


Window cranks are held on by a spring clip. You can get a flat tool to remove the handle at most auto parts stores.

The clip is behind the trim washer on the window crank. Here's how I remove them:

-With the window halfway down, rotate the crank so it's pointing up.

-Insert a flat-blade screwdriver from the top between the crank and the washer.

-Press back on the washer with the screwdriver and turn the crank. This will push the clip out.
