C1 door lock knob

[Kevin Riel]

I know this sounds stupid, but how do you get the inside door lock know off of a C1? I know there is a clip that fastens it, but I can't figure out where and how you get it off. Thanks.

Kevin - In spite of how confused Mikie is, note that window crank and lock knob do not share the same removal tool - for reasons that totally escape me - the dimensions of the slot are different. Often, with some patience, you can remove the lock knob with a tiny screwdriver or pocket knife. Just need to back out the "C" clip.

Try running an old terrycloth towel behind the knob. The cloth will snag the end of the clip and peel it off. Or at least that was the story that I heard.

They're Edsel knockers, not knobs, fool.

I purchased a small set of pick tools. They look like small screwdrivers with very thin shafts and points at different angles and curves. I was able to hook on to the horseshoe clip and remove if with out damaging the side panels.

Just for fun, I cut plastic lids from Folgers coffee cans for at least 2 items. One is screwing with door/lock knobs, the other is dash pads. I use these as shields for insurance that I won't violate the door/dash panel vinyl material. It has turned out to be a no cost insurance program. With one of these lids cut and well placed, you can save save more than the lizard in the Geico ads. DC

Of course, as you know, I love knockers - whatever they are...
