Window Handle Removal
« on: March 14, 2011, 01:49:36 pm »
Anybody know the easiest way to remove the window cranks on the inside door panels on non-power window Fieros?

Much obliged for any tips.

A dental pick will do the trick if you press the door panel in and away from the back of the handle.  If your pick has a 90 degree bend, you can hook the hairpin style clip and pull it off.  Other than that, they make a special tool for removing the clip and handle.  Lisle.com or you may be able to find it on the help rack at the parts store.

You Da Man - Got it!
Locks removed and replaced already too!
In lieu of that tool, I used a free paint can opener from Home Depot that had an "almost" 90 degrees angle on it, worked like a charm.

Thnx

Didn't you say you needed some window handles, too?  I've got 5 or 6.

Nope, had nice ones from the 86 parts car with the dark grey interior, which are now on the 84.

My wife's "Lil' 84 Dukie" is starting to look nicer and nicer, which by the way maked Don feel better and better
