Is there a tool or just a trick to removing the window crank clips??

There is a tool...but it isn't too hard to get them off with a curved tip seal pick. You can buy a set of picks at most any autoparts stores...

They do sell a tool for that but I have also used a flat screwdriver. Everybody sells the tool, Autozone, Pep Boys etc. Looks like a big black snake tongue with a bent up end on it for trim removal. They are usually over by the " HELP " odds and ends shelf, you know the one with the master cylinder gasket, door locks, vacuum plugs.

You can get it off like mentioned above without buying the tool, but run the risk of damaging the door panel. Another way to remove the C-clip with out the proper tool is a shop rag.
Take the shop rag and wrap it around the base of the window crank. Then work the shop rag back and forth (like drying your back after a shower) the rag will grab the edges of the clip and pop it off without the risk of damaging the door panel.

I would buy the tool. They are very inexpensive and then you'll have it the next time you pull the handles off.

I always take a piece of safety wire (same thing as electric fence wire) and bend it into a small hook on the end. You can then fish the clip out with the hook and pull out the clip. I always pull the wire with pliers.
