Does anyone know how to get the rear window winder handle off?

The vibration from the speakers at high volume is rattling it and it's driving me mad

If it's anything like other VW group cars then it's dead easy...

There's a sort of collar around the handle where between the windy bit and the door card - it simply pushes to one side and then the handle pops off. It really doesn't take much force at all once you figure out which direction it needs to go in.

That's what I thought but I can't see one unless I missed it.

Hmm, might be different on the Octy (mine's got rear electric windows so can't nip out and check) but that's how it works on my other halfs Seat Leon and my neighbours Fabia. IIRC it took me a few goes before I found which direction I had to shove the ones in the Leon to get them to release. Sure someone else will be along soon with another suggestion

looked in the Haynes Golf manual and it looks like you were right there is a big collar round the handle base, I shall inspect tomorrow .
