How do you remove the front door panel and window crank of a 97 Dodge Neon?

Answer 1

There is a clip that is removable with a small flat screwdriver. I found that it was easier to lay on the ground and put use a large screwdriver to pry out on the handle. This gives you room to get at the clip with the small screwdriver. Putting it back together is far easier since you install the clip first then slide the handle onto the spline and it will lock in the groove.

there is a small pin on the back of the window crank, pull p on it and everything should come apart

there is no such pin to remove the crank handle so that you may remove the door panal. you must bring it to a aoto body shop and ask them to remove them for you they more than likely wont charge you but if so a few bucks will be good enough. They have a special looking wrench that grabs the casing on the back of the crank and then they turn the crank as if rolling down the window and it comes off. you would not need to use the tool toreinsall the for it gos back on like a screw. i suggest you not try doing this with any other tool, you may stip the handle and then have unnessessery problems afterwords

there is a little clip that holds the window crank on they do make a special tool for it but a small flatblade screwdriver work just fine just push on one side and it will come off (and it is splined not screwed on)

oh yeh its on the back side of the crank then you have two screws one Philips in the door pull cup and a torx screw by the door handle....the rest are push in type clips start at the bottom work slow to the top
