if the yaris is like ... well every other car out there... there will be a tiny C shaped clip that will hold the window crank in lace. Take a thin piece of cloth and slide it in between the crank handle and the door panel.... work the cloth in and you should pop off the clip.... You might have to rotate the cloth around a bit... never know which way the clip is facing.

taking the clip off is the easy part... putting it back on is the hard part.... at least that was the case with my 97mazda.

If you plan on doing this more than once... you might want to go to an auto parts store and just pick up a window crank remover tool...just a thin piece of metal or plastic that pushes the clip out.
