    I'm drunk, end of story.

    In risk of being ridiculed by a mod, do what Nath says, it should be easy to find the problem if you remove the door card and wind the window to see what the problem is.

    not sure about VL's but most cars have a small U shape clip behind the winder that holds it on, it can be bitch to get off at times.

    I used a small saw blade off of a small hand saw I had, but be careful as mine popped off and went flying lol. Also, be careful as there is a cone-shaped spring under the window crank handle too, and a discular shaped piece of platic, so don't lose the C clip, the cone spring, or the discular plastic ring and you'll be fine!

    It's a bitch to get back on, that C clip lol.

    you can also use a piece of wire with a small hook bent on the end. and another interesting way is a piece of cloth, push it down behind the handle and pull it back and fourth until it pops the clip off.
