Hey Guys,
Today the weather was quite nice, so I took the car on a drive to a Club Meeting. I was even able to have the top down! The meeting was great, and it inspired me to attack a drivers' side door alignment problem. I had to remove the interior door handle, so I decided to take pictures, for those wanting know how to remove these handles. Not knowing how to post the photos to this site, I sent them to Dan; turns out he is "out of the office", having fun somewhere, until ~May 19.
So I will sum up the process by saying the clip is accessed from the right-hand side, as long as the handle is pointed at 12 o'clock. This applies both to window and door handle. A flat tool, having slight curve (think tablespoon but not cupped like a spoon), you get it behind the spring clip and pry out 1/8". While holding that, jiggle/pull the handle off the shaft.
The pictures help visualize the process, although they are not the best.
hope this helps
Roger

Roger,
Those pictures help alot to see how the window crank and door handle clips are, especially to me since I have never had mine off yet.
Thanks
Tim

Hey that's great! The removal procedure is difficult to describe, and I am a "visual" guy anyway-the photos were my "words".
