Kia sephia Window Crank
 

Cant get the fucker off, its really pissing me off.

I've never done a manual crank that was this hard to get off, wheres the part at - checked autozone and discount they were both clueless as to what i was talkin about.

You need the tool....they have them at Adance auto parts.... i used to work there not shure what it is called tho...

why cant they mak it easy like ford does... plastic cover.. one bolt and its off.

Damn japanese engineering.

haha rice enginering

Isnt Kia korean?

I've had a lot of crank windows need the tool, or at least screwdrivers, to get teh retaining clip out.

There is a wire clip that needs to come out. If you wedge something between the door panel and the handle, you should see it. Its kind of shaped like an ohm sign. Get a pick, or something, and pull it out. Once you get one off, and see how it works, you'll never have a problem again.

That tool is not as easy to find as it used to be, and, imo, is not so great. its not all that easy to use, and can muck up the crank, the shaft, and / or the door panel.

Use a pick, needle nose, or take a flat screwdriver and bend the end 1/8" to 90 ish degress.

It's the Jesus clip......alpha and the omega!

Yeah....and then PING! Flying clips. Be careful, those clips move faster than an illegal alien crossing the border. Cup your hand or something over the area the entire time.

That's where the name 'Jesus clips' really came from. Also often known as 'Damn Clips', F'in Clips, and 'WTF was that?!?!'

Roger, will be trying to get it off tomorrow. I actually got someone willing to pay me to build a box that fits their trunk :p so happy.

"A" Box? Like only one? Can you do that?

Toby

its gonna be hard, but i THINK I can get it right with just one...

Whats a window crank?

those ancient devices people used to use to roll down windows... usually you rotate it in a clockwise/counterclockwise fashion in order to roll the window up or down. :lol:


I miss those buggers
