Hopkins Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 We need to replace the drivers window in my MK3 Fiesta. Managed to remove all screws and fittings from door panel but the window winder is proving impossible to get off. There seems no visible way of loosening it. Has anyone else had this problem - all suggestions welcome. We want to replace the broken window before it starts pouring with rain again! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyvangough Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I know on the Escorts and older Fiesta's, there is a small surclip behind the handle holding it on to the spindle. Get a small screwdriver behind and try to catch the end of it and lever it off. Just be ready to catch it when it goes. Hope this helps, Vinnyvangough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattie Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 The guy above is spot on mate, i removed mine to fit door Speakers and it just pops off when you slot the screwdriver in the gap, it just abit of a sod to get back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyvangough Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Easy job to do. Another handy tip is to hold the screw driver in behind and turn the winder to catch the surclip on the end of the screwdriver and to pop it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
