Title: 56 Beetle Door Handle
Post by: silas on August 02, 2003, 12:42:14 AM

after taking the 10mm bolts out, how does the handle mechanism come off the door. it seems like it should pull out from the right side first to get the whole thing out.

does anyone have any ideas?

does anyone know what i'm talking about?

any help is greatly appreciated.

cheers

Hey Silas,
I'm not sure if i'm getting this correct but....

The inner door mech is held in place with two m6 bolts (10mm head) It also hac a c clip holding the release mech to it (this travels to the inner door release)
You will also need to push in the round post the the outer door handle contacts as you pull the mech down and out.

I hope this is clear? :wacko:

If your stuck give me a shout at the shop.
