bossjohnc Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 I have the same problem, so I'd be interested in the outcome style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />I think you can get them, fitting them's a bit of a pain, and apparently it's easy to chip the rubber if you need to remove/refit the door card.

Snoopy Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Yeah, I had a look at changing mine, you remove the doorcard, and then you can remove two bolts holding the handle on. I need to get new ones too, not got round to it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

payna Posted October 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 right, i went to vw tonight, the handles are in two parts; the cover that fits onto the front, and the actual handle.the guy asked me what colour i wanted so they must have different colours available too.anyways, the cover was £5.98 and the handle was £10.?? something, forget what exactly.i just ordered the cover, cos the handle itself was fine. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

payna Posted October 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 haha - you can always rely on snoop for part numbers and stuff. il be able to confirm tomorrow when i get my recipt :wink: andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
payna Posted October 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 ok so ive just got the cover for the left grab handle. quite easy to do but it needed a bit of brute force to get off (which is a pretty nerve racking thing to do, cos i didnt wanna damage the other half of the handle!) but there are three metal clips inside which need to be swapped over to the new item and it just clips back into place. :wink: part number for this cover as follows;6X0 867 171 B 48Zsnoop got the part number right, but listed it as black. the actual part is more like an anthricite grey colour. maybe there is a lighter grey colour??il let you all make your minds up about that one!andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
