Got it off. The catch is in the middle of the top of the cover. I
know that now because I got it apart but the way I got it apart was by
loosening the bottom of the inside frame with a putty knife and
lifting it up enough that the cover could rise off the catch.


This was helpful! I just gently pried the middle up while putting pressure on the unit from the OUTSIDE of the window. It popped off with no damage.


You are most likely a lying piece of ****. Here at Sunset Chateau, we have those Andersen windows; and that crank cover (getting it off that is) is always a crap shoot. Consider your ass ****in' lucky if you got it off without damage.


That's because you're simply inept, you dumb ditsoon!
