Message:
I want to install aftermarket speakers in my dakota and I don't have power windows, so does anyone know how to pull the handle to roll down the window off so I can get the panel out of the way? Thanks

Im not positive, but there should be a little cover on the handle that you can pop off with a screwdriver. Dont force it too hard or youll tear it up. Under this there will be a screw.

Those books from autozone are invaluable for things like this.. and their only $15. Pick one up.

NICK THERE IS A TOOL FOR REMOVEING THE WINDOW CRANK CLIP WHICH HOLDS THE WINDOW CRANK ON. THE TOOL IS SHAPED LIKE A FORK W/ TWO PRONGS. YOU MAY NEED TO BUY AN EXTRA WINDOW CRANK CLIP FOR EACH DOOR IN CASE THE CLIP BREAKS. THESE CLIPS COST LESS THAN A $1 A PIECE. THEN THERE ARE A FEW SCREWS AROUND THE DOOR THAT NEED TO BE REMOVED. FOR MY SPEAKERS I HAD TO MAKE A CUSTOM BRACKET TO MOUNT MY NEW SPEAKERS IN THE FACTORY LOCATION. HOPE THIS HELPS!

Behind the window crank there is a clip that looks like this



I took a paper clip and straightened it out then bent a little hook on the end to remove the clip.

To reinstall it, put the clip back on the crank, hold it over the shaft & push it back on. Much easier than trying to install the clip with the crank in place!

Hey, from the looks of that picture up above, If you break that clip it's gonna cost you quite a bit.
