going to show you how to replace beetle door handle, really quite simple.
Phillips head
screwdriver, pull back the door seal slightly, you'll see a screw right in the
back hand side there's a couple notches here to line up with those. We loosen
the screw, pull it out.
Come back to the door
handle itself which is already slid forward slightly. Pull out the back hand
side and the door handle comes out.
The new door handle
install the seals pointy head forward, getting the lip pulled around the chrome
edge on the front. The rear has an odd shape, with the more pointy end going
towards the back. Set that in place over the top. Same thing making certain the
door handle itself is inside the beveled edge.
To install matter of
inserting the hooked end first. Then pulling the door handle back slightly. Holding
the door handle in place with your hip works well. Come back into the door jam and
tighten down the screw.
Tuck the door seal back
in place and the new door handle is installed.
