How to Remove the Window Roller on a 1993 Chevy S10

Many 1993 Chevrolet S10 trucks were ordered from the factory equipped with manual crank windows. This window style is popular with owners who want to save money on the vehicle purchase price. Some owners also order the manual crank option because of the increased reliability and cold-weather performance of manual crank windows over power windows. The window roller, also known as the window crank, is held in place by a small horseshoe-shaped clip that locks the window crank spindle inside the window crank.
