I need to get inside my driver's door of my 34 RP but I can't remove the window winder handle. Hopefully one of you can tell me the secret!

When you find the secret tell me, mine keeps falling off.

Seriously, get a mirror behind the handle, there is a catch on the back, about half way down the handle you will need to use some form of hook to move it, and the mirror will help

The rear flange is spring loaded. Move it over and lift the handle off!

That's correct. the later RP's had the lucas window winder that has a seperate rear plate, spring loaded, to compress the spring, thus freeing the 'lip' on the rear plate from the notch on the window winder mech. Push the rear plate away from the handle winder part and it should 'fall off'.

The earlier type of window winder was called a 'Hobson Perfect' and had a catch within the handle part of the winder, there is no separate rear plate.

PS AT LAST I've got back on the Forum, I have not been able to access this particular page for 4 days now. Rest of this site OK......

Thanks for your help. Once I knew what I was doing the handle came off a treat. As on all those quiz programmes, the question's easy if you know the answer! Richard

Some even know the answer, they're just waiting for the RIGHT question!!!
