Subject:removing the window crank and side panel
From:Tim Beidel
Date:Sat, 22 Nov 2003 20:31:20 -0500

I have looked through the archives and Bentley and been left stymied in my
attempts to remove the inside door panel.

I have to replace the power mirror on the passenger side. I have a candidate
for the replacement.

1. How do I remove the window crank?
2. Are there any other impediments to removing the panel once the crank and
handle are removed? (I do not have the armrest that shows up in Bentley
diagrams.)
3. Once the panel is off, do I have to remove the plastic film that protects
against moisture? If so, can I reattach the same piece of film? With what
type of glue?

Thanks,
