I'm sure Wes pulled his off in the car and was very pleased with the results. He took a firm hold and pulled it up and down until it released itself....

I don't think he used any oil or anything to lubricate it before starting.....

There's nothing like a good tug but make sure you don't pull too hard and mark the roof!

Yeah a little bit of 'grease' on the cloth can be tricky to remove without leaving a white mark....

I hurt my hand. Bit was worth it when I'd finished. Very satisfying.

I basically twisted and pulled. Clipped the cable tie and replaced with an original Atari Joystick!

Did you find that pulling it off left handed felt different to normal Wes ?

[Jimbob]

It helps if you sit on your hand for a while first

Ha ha snigger.....

Wes knows all the tricks for a firm grip on the shaft, the trigger head ensures he doesn't come off the end
