In this tutorial, you can see how to remove the window winder handle mechanism on the Opel Astra, a very simple operation applicable to many other models. To do this, you will need a cloth and, if necessary, a flat-head screwdriver.

Start by opening the relevant door, then locate the clip on the handle's pivot and rotate it to position the two ends in the most comfortable direction. Once done, hook one of the ends with the cloth and pull upwards until the clip is released.

At this point, you can remove it and extract the handle from the pivot.
