Default How to remove door handle on Fox - 02-29-2004 , 08:21 AM






Hi, I have a 1989 VW Fox. The drivers side door handle broke and I
can't figure out how to remove the whole assembly. I removed one screw
from the outside and removed the inside door pannel. I dont see any more
screws to remove, but the assembly is very tight. I pryed on it and
broke a screwdriver, but it didn't budge. Please offer advice.
Thanks,
Kevin

There are 2 screws. One is behind the trim strip on the door handle, just
pop off the trim to get to it. The second is on the rear edge of the door
in-line with the handle. Open the door and you should see it.

HTH,
Chris

One more thing. After the 2 screws are removed, the handle needs to be
pushed towards the front of the car before it'll come out.
