Although most modern vehicles do not with manual windows, the base model Dodge Dakota does. Older Dakota models may also come equipped with manual windows. Manual windows are operated by a simple turn-crank, often called a window crank. The crank attaches to the knob, which raises and lowers the window based on the direction it is turned. Manual window cranks are held in place by simple s clips (sometimes called "C" clips). Removing the Dakotas window crank is simple and only takes a few minutes.
Step 1
Roll your Dakotas window all the way down. Note the exact position of the handle (for re-installation).
Step 2
Insert the window crank tool between the door panel and the window cranks base. Push the tool firmly to release the spring clip. The spring clip will pop out; do not lose it, youll need it to reinstall the window crank.
Grasp the window crank by its base. Pull the crank away from the Dakotas door panel.
Tips
- You can purchase a window crank tool from any auto parts store. The tool is generic; it does not need to be specifically made for the Dodge Dakota.
- To reinstall the window crank, position the crank back in place (in the same position as when you removed it). Push the s clip around the knob, behind the cranks base, until it snaps on.
