Window crank handle question

[reelclassic]

I need to take the door panel off my 2003 LMTV since my window will not move up and down. I can get everything off but the window crank. It seems to have a black plastic cover but don't want to break it if it's not meant to come off. Any tricks.

My understanding is it comes off.. screw below it holds handle to the splined shaft.

Plastic cover over a metal handle. Pry off the plastic cover opposite the crank side. I use a flat pry bar with a microfiber cloth over it. Might be overkill but I don't want to bugger them up.

Pretty sure there is a diagram of specifically how to do what sandspider said in the manual...

When they say "pry", it doesn't involve a lot of force. The plastic cover just has a small plastic lip around it that snaps over the flat metal body of the handle underneath. Gently pull/"pry" the plastic lip over the metal and it comes off easy.
