Steps:

1. Turn the window crank handle so the back side faces you. You will see that the window crank consists of two pieces connected by a head with snap-on tabs.
2. Use a small prying tool or a flathead screwdriver to fit into the small opening and gently pry the head of the crank handle apart.
3. If the window crank is not entirely separated by prying it from one side only, you will need to use the same tool to gently pry the other side as well.

4. Use either a prying tool or a flat-head screwdriver, preferably one with a larger head for more leverage. Insert the tool between the window crank handle and the plastic washer, and gently pry the head of the window crank apart.
5. Do the same for the other side.

6. Inside the hole is the Torx screw that mounts the window crank handle to the door panel. Use a T20 Torx screwdriver to take off the Torx screw.
7. Take out the window crank handle.

8. Place the plastic washer on the back of the window crank handle, where it fits between the crank and the door panel.
9. Install the window crank handle replacement.
10. Ensure the window crank handle is installed in the desired position.

11. As in step 3, use the T20 Torx screwdriver to insert the M4 x 16 mm Torx screw into the same hole. Be sure to handle the Torx screw gently when installing it.

12. Line up the top piece of the window crank handle with its bottom half and gently snap the clips into place to secure the connection.
13. Test the window crank handle to ensure the window is operating correctly.
