    Can't remove handle
    I have a glacier bay faucet in our bath. The faucet just started to leak. My problem is I can't find a set screw or a cap that you remove to take off the handle. I have looked and looked and even asked my friend to have a look. Anyone familiar with this one?

    Some models go to great lengths to hide the set screw, other put it right in your face. If you handles have any decorative emblems or seals try to pry one out, often covering a screw. Other than tha try going through HD and see installation instructions to see how the handle was first installed.

    Glacier Bay also manufactures Gerber and Gerber handles have a insert on top that pops off and there's a screw underneath that secures the handle. Good luck, Tom

    I agree with Tom. There is a small plastic logo on top. Take sharp knife, get the blade under the side of this button and pop it up. Don't forget to cover the drain so it won't fall in !
