My 1930 coupe has a broken window handle that I can’t figure out how to remove. Any suggestions?

Push in on the door panel around the handle. You should be able to make room between the handle and the metal trim surrounding the handle ( the escutcheon) so that you can drive out the pin that holds the handle on. Good luck !!

Thanks Stew, I’ll give it a go.

It worked. Thanks for the help.

Thanks from me too!! I was getting ready to just cut the handle off ----- my handle has a missing set screw that looks like it should hold the handle on, but no, there's that pin. What's the reason for that set screw??? By the way, my other handle does have a set screw in that hole but also has the pin through the shaft.

Yea, I don’t get the set screw. It doesn’t line up with anything. I just used the pin on my new one and ignored the set screw.
