------- Good lad for tackling it before you break the winder.

Ehhhh....../sorry
Since the first broke, and I have converted to chrome winder, I plan
to do this before the second winder breaks
PS.
I tried to wind the window part-way down, and then lift the window.
Using 'moderate' force I could not lift it.
Does this mean new channels, which I have heard is sheer joy to
replace ? :-). Or is there an easier way
