I am just trying to remove my door card- and have managed to do everything apart from remove the window crank handle- I have found the screw but I cannot seem to undo it. If anyone has any tips that would be great.
Many thanks

Thanks- I tried that and the screw still didn't budge. It's strange because it is the same on both sides. I am trying to turn the screw anticlockwise when the window is full up.

Ahh ,sorry,I thought you had the screw out. Its normal anti clock , maybe loctite or something ? Use a hammer and give the driver a smack ,it will undo

Thanks again for your help. It did look like some loctite had been used.
I had to use a screw extractor to them out in the end. Slowly drilled a pilot hole then very slowly used the screw extractor didn't take long.
