Stuck Door Window?

Post by Chief »

Before dismantling everything and putting yourself through a whole ton (well more than one actually) of pain, unscrew the window winder handle and remove it and the washer behind it.

Find a suitable spanner that slots over the square part (or use an adjustable spanner as I did) and then try winding the window using the spanner.

If the window is just a little stiff/ slight rust within the winding mechanism, the extra leverage helps to get it turning again and once going things start freeing up.

:)

(also having the mechanism in rust remover for almost a day to try and release the stuck winder appears to do absolutely nothing).
