Hi
Has anyone out there replaced the opening handle on a heki roof light.
To try and be clear with what is broken, when the roof light is properly closed you operate two handles one either side, you push in a little button to operate lever and rotate, this releases the catch either side allowing you to raise the roof.
One of the catches has broken off, it looks like I should be able to simply replace the handle/catch but I can't find a trusty YouTube showing me how.
Any info or sharing of experience would be greatly received.
Ps, although called oldeldiss we now have a rather lovely Sterling Eccles Topaz.

If it's the same as mine, the catch is held in place by a little self tapping type screw down the centre forming a spindle. The cross-head is facing upwards.
