[Vwdiesel] Rabbit door handles

[Dan Sloan]

Rolf,

If this is the '84 and earlier rabbit..it's probably a broken casting.

Have you just tried replacing the handle?  The quick access is to pry out
the metal cover strip (on the handle) from one end, and unscrew with a
medium size Phillips driver.  If I remember correctly its one screw on the
outside and one in line with the handle, but on the side of the door. (above
the actual latch)
Here's a catalog listing:
