How Long to Remove a Window Winder

[Davcohen]

Just thought id make a random post/ poll to see what the average time is to remove a window winder handle, personally i cant do engine conversions and am the most novice of mechanics but i can remove a window winder handle faster then most

lets see what the average time is?

[A.S.T.R.A]

27.34secs, Included in this time is the time spent unlocking said car and removing said vital organ from the interior of said veeeehicle, and replying to said useless thread.

[Benn]

about 5secs...

pheew i thought the title was how long to remove window licker!
i really must go to bed lol

[Scoobler]

I've gone for 20-30 seconds as that stupid little clip on the cav one never wants to come off for me, so unless breaking it off was allowed then I consider my self slow lmao

[Haynzee]

those buggers tended to do my nut in until I got one of these

[Mark T]

Old t-shirt or duster slid under and round flicks them off in seconds.

[doge5644]

ii just rpped mine off......seeing as i was inatalling electrics

[Benn]

those buggers tended to do my nut in until I got one of these

a very handy tool,
everyone should have one...

[coolamasta]

They are a chunt to get off sometimes and when they do they fly somewhere, so I put 30-60 seconds, 10 seconds to clip it off and 50 seconds to find the bugger lol... lmao

[JamesMcbride]

i use an old fork.. about 5 secconds

[harty]

took me 3 hours on my escort lol.

Once off, replace with electric windows.

[Steve!]

First and last time I did it (First car, All my cars have had electric windows since then) it took me about four hours! My mate came around and did the other side for me in about 20 seconds!

I have electrics all round on my Cav! i could have a go on the rears of my peu got 307 compnay car. But the way that Sh*ter is built i recon it will just fall off if i mirely look at it! So i'll say 0.05 secs

[KillBill]

First time I did it on the Astra it took about 15 minutes !
Then the ****er shot off under the car somewhere, and I had to move it, then crawl round the driveway looking for the clip lmao

[AL]

Lost the circlips for mine - so it takes a 10th of a second form ine to fall off lmao

[Ian H]

can't do it so breaking it off is the only option for me

[EasyRob]

Is there a 60 seconds+ option?

Bonus point for doing it in the dark?

First time I ever tried and it must of took me a good half hour to do one

Thought I learnt the nack to prizing them off when it was down at my girlfriends dad garage (last time to ever take them off). He stood there smirking at me struggling to get it off and then decides to tell me he has one of the above tools... ping! not even a second it took! Like Benn said; everyone should have one! lmao

[daveb948576]

lol when i first started working on cars. if i was to do somthing like change the lock or door handle i would inscrew the door card and then twist it on the hanlde so there was enough room for me to get my hand in without removing the card or the handle lmao. but the tool from snap-on works well

no bonuses for the world record im afraid lmao
