My 87 Jetta has no rear door handles.

As they began to disintegrate several years ago, I just discarded them, and
stick my finger in the hole and press the paddle.

I dpn't even think about it any more, and it's easy to lube the latch
mechanisim periodically if it stiffens up.

(car now has 500,00km on it)

This car is not a junk bucket, new brakes, shocks, other essential parts as
required, but all non-essential stuff (exterior plastic trim, etc) removed
and VW engineering goofs corrected, now is a trouble-free daily driver that
handles like a sports car....on canola.

Bored-out TD engine, Whooeeee!
