Hi i have gone to change a broken soft top locking handle on a sl 107 it has no screw how do i get it off please ,
 
If it is the same as my 208, there is a tiny Hex screw in the side that can only be reached when twisted, with a 3mm (from memory) Allen Key.

It may not be the same.
 
Do you mean the handle at the side of the passenger side? Take out the little insert and you'll find a screw iirc.

Nearly :D. If you take out the insert (prise out the small end and it slides up) the handles are held in place by a keyhole spring actually in the insert.

If you refer to a handle being broken in the front top locks they are held by a spring ball. If there's a broken piece it will need wheedled out.
