Dont know whats going on with the car, but the day I get all my new audio equipment in the mail, the lock sticks/door wont shut.

Now I can't seem to get the door panel off, I have a 98 sunfire with manual crank windows and manual locks, can anyone point me towards a proper guide to getting this thing off?

-Remove sail panel (by mirror)
-Remove two bolts from under pull handle.
-Remove 4-5 screws on the bottom.
-Remove oval plastic near door handle (easier to get panel out).
-Lower window to the bottom.
-Remove c-clip on the window crank and pull out handle.
-Pry/pull back from the bottom of the panel as it is held up by plastic clips.
-Slide up gently to unhook panel from the top of the metal door/window frame.

C Clip is where im havin problems now, and i found a guide to use paperclips but that looks like a HASSLE, plus i dont even have any paperclips in my house. Wtf.

Slightly different shape but identical procedure.

If you see yourself opening the door panel alot in the future, it's absolutely worth the $5 to just get the crank removal tool.
Just ridiculously easy with it.

the way i usually get the clip off is using a shop towel and wrapping it around the crank and moving it in a circular motion so the clip gets caught in the fibers of the rag and it will then come off. I actually couldn't find a rag once and ended up using my sock.... lol gotta improvise once and a while.

If you don't have a U-shape trim panel remover, use two small flat-head screwdriver, line them up at the ends of the C-clip and simultaneously pry forward.
