Question

How do I remove a roll up window handle off my car without breaking the handle?

Answer 1

there,s a clip behind the handle that needs to come off. advance or auto zone sells the tool for that job, i think it,s in the help section.

Answer 2

if you push back the paneling on the door a little you should see the clip that holds the window handle on try to push both sides of clip up with s***w driver

be careful this is a delicate operation

Answer 3

You will see either a allen key s***w on the inside of the handle or depending on the car, sometimes you have to push in the panelling around the base of the handle so you can see behind it .  There is a large "C" clip that slides on to hold the handle on.  You need a piece of flat metal with a long U cut out of it(you can buy this tool too) which you insert in behind to catch the "C" on its open ends and push it out.  Once the C clip is removed the handle slides off.      

Answer 4

they make a tool to take the handle off or you can you a flat head s***w driver there is a clip on the handle in between the handle and the door panel the you have to take off  

Answer 5

Here's a trick. It's difficult to explain but i'll try.

Get an old rag.

Hold the top two corners of the rag and stretch it tight.

Keep the rag stretched and shimmy it back and forth between the window handle and the door panel, like you were shining a boot.

The clip will pop off (try not to loose it) and the handle will fall off.

When you're putting the handle back on, put the clip on the handle first, then gently put the handle on the spindle that's attached to the window, then hit it with an open palm.

It should snap back on.

EDIT: This is the best trick ever and it works every time. If I don't get Best Answer for it I may cry a little.
