Am I the only one…

…who has manual side windows? I guess everyone else but me got powered windows. Asking because I need to remove door panels but cannot figure how to take off the window raiser levers. I saw no fixing bolts or rings or what ever, however damn lever did not move

and I was nervous a beat to pull harder. So am I the last person with manual windows?

Needed an experience in door disassembling.

I did not know they came with manual windows. If they are like every other GM window crank I have ever seen there is a small metal c-clip that rides in a groove on the crank shaft, you often can only see the small bits of the open side sticking out a bit if you press the door panel in and turn the crank.A small screwdriver on on of the legs will pop it off if you do not want to buy the tool made for it.

Thanks for help.

Seems to me I was right about manual windows – it’s an exclusive option, in my truck only. I should like a manual gearbox.
May be this evening Ill try to find that c-clip, however last time I tried to disassemble my door I could swear I don’t saw anything like that.
P.S. watch out number of your posts, I think you should post something!(just kiddin

I disassembled my wife's Cavalier's door panel and I never could actually see it. I couldn't get her's off with out the tool but it was very cheap here in the US. When you do get the handle off, put the c-clip on the crank before you reassemble it. You just press it back on.

Here is what it looks like from the back side you can find the tool at any auto part store. I understand you can also snag it by working a shop rag or piece of rope behind the handle and pulling like you where drying your back with a towel but I would pick up the tool and some extra clips just in case one goes flying into thin air.

You were right, guys. Yesterday I did saw that c-clip, it looks like a horseshoe with curved ends. Now I know the principle of crank fixing and have a good chance to take it off.
As for pictures of rear doors with manual windows – I don’t have rear doors, cause my truck has extended cab not crew (sorry), I’m talking about front doors. I wondered does it really such a rare thing, how did it happens that I got one? It’s not a big deal to spin crank sometimes, but only driver side. When it takes to pass side its very uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, it’s not so easy for me to get special tool or even a couple of extra clips, no matter how cheap they are.

However I don’t see big problem – its easy to deal without it.

Thanks a lot to all of you.

Ah! That makes a little more sense. That is an Extra cab, not a crew cab. That clears up a few misconceptions on my part.

Sorry again guys, I never said that I have CrewCab. Just there is no S-10 Ext.cab site
