Ok, I'm taking my 72 Skylark door panels off but can not get the window handle off. Is there a trick to getting it off? I have been prying it against the door panel and I think I see a clip but I'm not sure and I can not get a screwdriver behind it anyway. Please help.
There's a tool for that. There is a little round wire clip on the stem of the handle. If your good, you can sometimes pop it off with a very long, very thin screwdriver or a small pick. But your best bet is to get the tool. Lisle makes it among others. Im sure its readily available at most aut parts stores tomorrow.
This page does a decent job showing what's involved, even though it's not GM. http://www.xenons30.com/Doorhandlereplacement.html Devon
there is also plenty of room to use a piece of coat hanger with a small hook bent on one end and pull the clip off. however I think the clip on mine would pull off opposite of what is in the picture at the link above. -nate
Mine won't stay on worth a darn when I have the clips reversed; the slots aren't 180 degrees apart for some reason. Devon
I've used a rag to slide under the handle and catch the edge of the clip. works pretty good in a pinch or junk yard
