Window fell into door

[noraarm]

my driver door window fell into the door today when i tried to roll it down, i tried to take the door panel off to get into it but i didnt know how to take the manual window handle off. Is there a thread or does anyone know an easy way to remove it and to get my window back on the track? could anything have actually broke or did it just fall off the track? Thanks in advance

Usually there is a clip under the window crank handle that holds it in place. I would say offfhand that either a window roller broke or the window stop fell out of place.

You'll need new clips to replace the clips that you remove.

That horse shoe clip has to be stretched and pulled out of the retaining groove on the window crank shaft. You can also use a thin flat bladed screw driver to pop it out, but the proper 'tool' is a handy item to have, and you can reuse the horse shoe clip if it is not bent out of shape ! :TU:

Without the removal tool you might use fabric like a towel, sock, wife's nylons. Pull the fabric across the open end of the clip and you might get it to pop loose.
