You will need to unscrew the door pull, the screws holding the bottom of the door panel, remove the window crank (there is a clip on the back side holding it in place) and the lock knob. Once these are removed, pull the bottom of the door away from the door and lift upwards. The top of the door panel catches on the top of the window glass guides. Replacing the door glass will be tougher if you havent done it before. If you need help on the glass, just ask, we just installed our glass a couple wees ago. So very fammiliar with how it goes in.

There is a special tool. Most hardware or auto shops sell them for around $6.

I believe Epay has them for that same ballpark price.

If you google "window crank handle removal tool" you will likely get a photo of one.

I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
