Loop a rag over the back of the winder handle and saw back-and-forth gently. It'll make the clip wander right out. To re-install, put the clip in the handle and push the handle straight onto the winder stud. It'll pop right in. Make sure you have it aligned first. If you lose the stupid little clip, they have them at the parts stores. For obvious reasons.

Sorry you had to leave Oakland, but do you still get to use the whistle there? Wooo-wooo.

I used to make a hook from a paper clip until I found out about this rag trick.

You slip the rag in b/t the handle and the door panel and pull up while simultaneously pulling it side to side. Buy the eBay 6.5" adapter plates for the speakers, don't ghetto rig stuff unless you have to. The plates are only $14 shipped and they work great.
