Hi,

i've broke the one window stay on my lunar roadstar.

I've got the replacement part, but the question i've got is, how do i remove the old part?
it's secured using a small pin. do i push the pin inwards, or drill it out?

i've posted the replacement part picture so you can see what im dealing with.

Regards

Dave

what's the best way of removing the pin though? you cant get to it from the inner side to push it out.

oh forgot to say, if you can. unscrew the arm and work on a bench, if possible with a vice

2 screws secure the top part to the frame of the van, i cant tell how the rod connects to the plastic which seems to be bonded to the window itself. does the rod unscrew?

just an update. All done. It ended up with me just applying a bit of light pressure on the plastic with some mole grips. it just popped apart leaving the pin in situe, so i just pulled that out with plyers and saved it. popped the new one on, job done.

Thanks for the info once again.
