You are freaking BRILLIANT bro, i spent a good 40 minutes trying to get the snap ring off without damaging the panel. After your video i was done in 1 minute.!!!! CHEERS BRO!
Excellent !! I have never found a video that gave me the solution within the first 30 seconds. I will never forget the towel trick again. Thank-you VERY much...
Thank you for posting this! All the videos I've seen about removing the door panel showed cars with power windows. Changing my door check was so much easier, knowing this trick.
After 130,000 miles the knob on the driver's side window crank of my 1993 Toyota pickup came off in my hand. Purchased Chinese replacement crank -- typical crapola -- but beggars can't be choosers if you haven't got time to check the junkyards. Put replacing the broken one off because I didn't want to bend the somewhat fragile hook on an old dentistry pick I've used for a thousand things where space is tight. Then I found this brilliantly simple method that might be known to car repair guys and restorers, but certainly not to me. I'd never have thought of using a wash cloth or old rag to snag the snap ring. Rushed right out before posting this, and it worked like a charm. Took more time to get the snap ring on the replacement than get the broken handle off. What did we do without UA-cam?
The right way, is when you have it situated, so you put the rag under the crank arm. I knew I needed to see this, thank you very much! Toyota should've copied Volkswagen on this one...
I have replaced the windows crank handle every two years. It seems the window gets harder to crank so that I pull too hard on the handle and it breaks. Is there any lubricant I can apply to make windows easier to crank when they get too hard to turn?
Leonard Mayer I like DuPont dry lube products such as this on Amazon: DuPont Teflon Chain-Saver Dry Self-Cleaning Lubricant, but you can use any type of lube of your choice. The dry lube you can use in metals that are near dust and dirt, and it doesn’t stick to it, such as table saws, bikes, etc. The important thing is to remove the door panel to be able to get to the window mechanisms. Spraying from the outside doesn’t get to the moving parts. I have a video on that. It’s a common problem with Toyota’s.
Damn near broke my nail trying to figure this out on my 87’ Toyota Pickup. Your video has been incredibly helpful!!!

I was fiddling with screwdrivers for half an hour til I stumbled upon this video. Fucking genius.
