Ok, no sooner than I got out there, I see it. The haynes manual mis-led me. It looked like it was more toward the panel,when it's really just this little gold clip immediately behind the crank! I was getting really really mad too... Oh well. Thanks anyway guys!

This is easy.
You go to auto parts store and ask for a window clip remover tool.
They cost $3-7, any/every store has them. They are also in the "HELP" section, tools.
Again, very simple and by getting the right tool, you do not damage your interior door panel.
It's FLAT, with a cut out for getting behind the window crank.
Easy to use, too.
PS WATCH OUT FOR THE FLYING CLIP! They are also available at the same section (HELP), too! when ya loose them!
Worth the trip to the parts store.

Thanks Ked. After I found the clip I just used a screwdriver. No problem at all.
