Hello !!

Ok, I admit, I'm not keen in those things but I'm finding this one very tricky.
I cannot remove the rear door panels of my 2000 Yaris.
It's a 5 doors, and of course, it has rear window handles, wich are linked to the body whit something like a clip...or sort of.
So, I cannot find this clip, and the panel is stuck in his position because of this.
In the Italy Yaris Club they say that is easy to find this clip or this lttle piece of metal behind the panel, but I'm doing the same thing for six months...there is something wrong.

There's nothing on the DIY manual v3 abouta the old Vitz (2000-2005)

Can someone help me ?

Here's My car: :headbang:

There's a metal C clip that holds the window crank on the shaft. Take a piece of cloth hold it on either side of the handle starting at the knob, and pull it up towards the shaft. It will catch the clip and pop it off.

Don't loose the clip!
When you're done, put the clip back onto the door crank-handle and just press it back onto the splined shaft. I suggest you either crank both windows all the way down or all the way up, and notice the crank positions so that you can put them back with both in the same orientation.... it'll look like it was never taken off... :>)
