Removing Door Panel

[Akuma]

I'm trying to take the door panels off but can't figure out how to take the window cranks(?) off. Does it just pop off or what?

[SCEverhutch]

There a tool that goes in between the crank and the door to squeeze a sort of metal collar that ordinarily presses outwards to keep the crank attached. Did that make sense?

I never did it without that tool... but I suppose a really thin screwdriver or two might do the trick. Hope that helps.

I used the hook from a metal hanger and slid it in the space btwn the crank and the door. This should catch on the clip holding the crank on and pop it off.
