Stick flat head screwdriver inbetween crank and interior of door, seperate and look carefully to see metal C clamp holding window crank on... remove that, usually using needle nose plyers or if you have a hook pick also works real well but thats a bit of a specialty tool. needle nose work but take patiance :) just grab ahold and pull, should not be hard to pull on, and make sure NOT to bend it, thats the only thing hold ing that on!

SOURCE: power window fell down inside door

there are clips holding the door panel around the edges. to remove the clips, use a small screwdriver to feel for them, then use another one to pull the panel on the other side. Pull outward from both sides of the clip until it comes loose. Do this repeatedly, and then loosen and remove the arm rest.

Pull the window up and have a helper hold it as you work it back into the track.

Good luck.

SOURCE: how do i remove the inside driver door panel to a

the best part about having a Saturn is that you don't need to. have a look and your going to remove the outside panel around the door. the one that's painted the color of the car. the panels in thees are easily replaced and removed and this will allow access to windows. (kinda crazy and different than any other make but Saturn knows what makes seance and did it well.

How do I know which part to replace if the manual window does not work?

If it's not the crank handle just slipping on it's attaching place, you will need a new or used regulator. Don't think any of the gears on the regulator can be changed. It's all a one piece replaceable unit. Check with the dealer if the SL series regulator is interchangeable with yours. Once you get the door panel off to look at the regulator, you will probably spot the problem.

How to remove window handle it is not power need to put window back on track and having trouble removing door liner

to remove a manual window crank, you need a dish cloth. there is a type of C-clip with the open end under the handle projection. so you use the dish cloth like you dry your back, but the crank under the handle projection is your back. back and forth and eventually the dish towel will snag the C-clip end and pop it off. the crank handle then slides off.

I need to remove the window crank on a 95 sl,thx

there is a special tool for this sold at all auto parts stores. other folks take a dishtowel, work it in between the crank handle and the door and work it back and forth until the C-clip pops off. The open end of the C-clip is directly under the handle part. i have done this myself and it works.

I am putting in speakers in the 2 front doors... how do i take the door panels off?

Well you need to remove the screws holding the door handle. You need to get one of those tools to remove the window crank if it is not power windows, (an old rag worked back and forth can actually work for that), you need to get another tool to aid you in removing the push in snaps along the sides and bottoms of the panel, you need some good needle nose pliers to undo the clips on the pull opener. Then lift it up and off. Reinstall in reverse order, be prepared for a bear of a time getting those clips back on the door pull.

Saturn 1997 SL1's window ragulatior or motor is not working. The window will not go up. How do I get the ragulator out ?

You'll need to remove the outer door panel. There are torx head bit bolts going into the outer panel from the inner door. You'll need to remove the door handle, there is a small pin to remove and side of the door handle. Remove the chrome or black molding at the top of the door, against the window.

How do i remove the door panel on a 99 saturn sl2?

Front door remove the mirror first, from the inside out small panel comes off with a screw and two or three large nuts are exposed.
Both doors remove the exterior door handle, lift it up and you will see
two pins which can be pushed out and then the handle comes off.
Get a star driver and remove ALL the bolts holding the plastic panel onto the door frame.
Lower the window and lift the panel up and away, gently.

Take door panels off to install speakers

On the inside trim, you can remove screws (these screws may be covered by filler pieces or may be visible, or they may require you pry a plastic piece off that covers the screws) that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls. Then you can remove the bolts securing the speaker in place
