The workshop manual says to remove the window frame and glass in order to remove the winding mechanism. I wondered if it was actually possible to remove the mechanism by just holding the glass in the up position somehow.

I have never managed it - a fiddly job and you need thin strong hands!

Okay, thanks Phil. I guess I'll do it the 'official way'.

Personally I am built like the proverbial brick outhouse with hands sized accordingly and the task is impossible for me without dismantling the frame! However, one of my engineers has "ladies hands" and could just manage it. It therefore depends on how you are constructed!

In the past when i have done this job on other cars with wind down windows i just used to put a length of thin wood inside the door in the upright position to help keep the window full up while i fiddled with the rest. Its worth a try. Regards, |

It can be removed/replaced with the frame in position it's fiddly as Phil says but doable  |

I'll give it try with glass held at the top. If it works, great. If not, I'll bite the bullet and remove the frame.  |
