roamingyak Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I'm taking off the front door trim on my much changed 1991 110 hardtop - the doors were 'refurbished' in 2013. All fine, except there appears no easy way to remove the window winder - Haynes and searches on here show a central cap that should be popped out and then the screw inside removed. However both of my winders have no central cap - they are solid - so assume they are from a later/earlier model or something... Any suggestions on how to get these off please - I'm scared to use brute force least I break something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crwoody Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 There's usually a spring clip on the underside of the handle, like in this link - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-Door-Window-Metal-Clip-Crank-Retainer-Roll-Up-Winder-Handle-Retaining-Clip-H5/273001177349?hash=item3f90236105:g:WwsAAOSwIFtaRZlM You need a small hooked end device to get under the handle and hook the closed end then give it a pull. I used a length of 2mm galv wire, flattened the end and bent it over to form the hook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roamingyak Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Absolutely fantastic thanks - exactly that, and I have a trim removal kit with a hooky thing so it only took 2 seconds to pop them off. Thanks again!! 😉😉 Hopefully I can figure out how to pop them on again 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 They just push on and when you hear the click the spring clip is seated cheers Steve b 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
