The 1999 Toyota Corolla comes standard with manual (roll-up) windows; power windows are optional. If you need to remove the car's door panel, you'll need to first remove the window crank handle. A special tool is required to do this. The window crank handle is snapped on with a small metal clip, sometimes called a "C" clip because of its shape.
Purchase a window crank handle tool from any auto parts store. You can also order one online. The tool shouldn't cost you more than $10.
Grab the Corolla's window crank handle by the knob you use to roll the window down. Gently pull this part of the crank handle away from the door. Behind it, between the door panel and the crank, you'll see a small gasket. Insert your tool in between the crank handle and the gasket. Insert it on the side the knob protrudes from.
Push the tool gently while still pulling on the handle. You'll hear a snapping sound as the clip pops out.
Pull the window crank handle straight away from the door panel.
