Replacement cover for casement arm operator

Question

Hello,

I have a few cracked casement window operator covers, I would ideally like to replace them.

The windows were installed in 2003. The cover is plastic, the handle is metal and stamped with "semco". I assume I need to remove the handle to pop off the cover, but I don't see a screw underneath the handle. It's unclear how the handle and cover come off.

Ideally, I'd like to identify the right part to purchase for the plastic cover, and get guidance on how to replace it.

( I have a few other parts that need replacing, but I'll keep one question per inquiry for clarity ).

Thanks in advance

Thanks for reaching out! When you pull at the handle with some gentle force, does the handle come off the spline on the operator? If not, there is a chance you may need to replace the entire crank mechanism. The handle and cover generally pop off of the operator, especially when the handle does not use a set screw.

Please try pulling them off and if they are not removable, we can move from there.

Feel free to reach out with any other questions you may have in the meantime.
