Window Regulator Handle

Post by 80njspider »

How do you get the handle off? The shop manual says I need tool A.78034, but the manual doesn't show a picture. It's a tight fit, but it looks like a regular c clip. Any tricks to getting it off? Thanks.

The handle has a recess in it where a horseshoe shaped spring clip is located. I have to turn the handle so the open end is up and then poke a screwdriver on one end of the clip,hoping it pushes out of the recess enough to slide the handle off.
A bit fiddly but I'm sure the fiat gurus have a better way and I I can learn a better way as well.

I took mine off today by removing the clip using a flat head screwdriver. You can see the clip when you pull out on the lever.
