Title: Removing passenger interior door handle
Post by: Tuffy on April 07, 2018, 08:27:49 pm

Hi could someone help me please?
My passenger interior door handle has worn so I bought a new one. Removed the front cover and the two large torx screws.... expecting the handle to jut come away..but it didn’t

Is there something else holding it on that I can’t see???

You need to remove the door card to access the grab handle from the rear

OK, right. Yeah, there are two screws from the backside...see the pic and the two circled areas showing where the two screws are coming from the backside; http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83936
