I need some advice on how to get the rear window crank off on my ’69 LeMans. I have the clip-removal tool, and have used it several times to take off the front door window cranks, but I’ve spent hours on this one, and can’t figure it out. When I push the door panel in with my finger, I can not see the clip like I can on the other doors – it doesn’t look like a clip is in the slot. I’ve tried the shoe-shine method with a rag (stuffing the rag in there, and flossing it out), with no luck. I even tried pulling off the crank with a vice grip in case it was just rusted on, but no luck there. Has anyone had this problem, and how did you get it off? It appears to be the original window crank. Thanks in advance.
