Honesty Daddy it wasn't me!! (1 Viewer)

Well the other day after we returned back to the motorhome we discovered that our lovely Rubi had decided to have a good chew at one of the window handles....
So where can I buy a new one, and how do you remove them from the window as I can see no screws, does it slide?

 

[funflair]

Ours have screws in the block that the handle fixes to.

EDIT could be Polyplastic "slide on type" which suggests that they slide on some how so I guess slide off as well

 

[poki]

look at that face ..I don't believe she did it how dare you accuse her

I think you will find a small hole under the handle and when you push something in you will then be able to slide the handle off,

Think it's possibly this one,

If the original still works I'd leave it for a while until she stops otherwise it could prove expensive to keep replacing them!

Agreed - or heatshrink to give her something to get her teeth round.

Yip there is a small hole under the handle, so I'll try that later on

That'll look good enough after a clean up with fine emery or even a fine file, surely!

I believe they come free issue with every new moho.

 

[Bart]

@Minxy Girl , @tonyidle yip I think I'd tend to agree as well with you's

 

[Ex-caravantugger]

Get her to chew the rest so they all match.

With @Popeye over this one, give it a rub down as it superficial marks only

Meany if you fed her she wouldn't need to eat the van.

I agree with Minxy about not replacing it until you are sure she has stopped. We had the same problem with our kitchen dresser, got six wooden replacement handles made, and you can guess the outcome! We found the spray-on anti-chew spray useful at that stage. Naughty Rubi.

It's a Polyplastic brand window I presume? Advanced Glass Products in Droitwich are the UK Polyplastic agents - very helpful bunch - they will have one of those catches, and be able to advise on fitting.

[autorouter]

What do you expect, with the kind of role model example you are showing, always modifying, improving, never satisfied...

Just make sure she NEVER sees this:
