Title: Window Winder
Post by: keiran on October 18, 2011, 06:27:01 PM
Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows how to get the window winders off the front doors without breaking them.
It has literally driven me insane today.

Thanks

I can tell you that it can be done as I've done it when I changed the doors on my Silver Sport but I just can't remember how I did it  :-[ :-\ Sorry.....

They are held on with a clip. Fitting is easy, just press and they pop on :) Removal however is more difficult (without breaking something anyway :( )

You need to get behind it with a small hook and pop the clip off ;)

Oh! you mean the winder handles? I thought the mechanism from inside the door. Mirafioriman is right again! You need a spring-hook or something similar, push in the door card and pull out the spring clip (see photo of clip below)

Thanks Dave and theo,

I have managed to get them off.
Used one of my misses hair clips and cut it in half and it hooked the clips really well.
