Broken Interior Door Handle - Need Help dismantling panel 1990 - 80Q

[Mitchell S. Haskins]

If it's the same as my 1988 90Q, there should be 2 screws on the door panel.
1 on the top on the hinge side, and one on the top on the handle side.
After that, remove the screws under the armrest and behind the handle.
Remove the lock cap and LIFT.
If it doesn't lift easily, check for screws that you may have missed.  The
handle is connected to the latch by a wire inside a vinyl guide a la bicycle
brakes.  Buy a replacement at your local VW or Audi dealer.  Doesn't cost
much.
