turns out the black cover is the window guide, i need to drill out 2 rivets and use a stanley knife to cut through sealer before i can remove it to expose the 2nd screw holding the handle on

job for the weekend

yes I did mate. it was the plastic lug on the inside of the handle had broken due to it being plastic and the friction between the plastic and the metal soon gets as dry as a nuns chuff and the lug starts to stretch making it a pig to open the door then the lug brakes of. easy to do mate. just grease it up when you fit the new one and all will be good.

her drivers side one has started to play up again so I am going to grease it up and it will be crisp
