[Vwdiesel] Rabbit door handles

[mark shepherd]

Rolf I've wired drilled and pinned the beasts but the problem starts with 
aluminium joints corroding due to the iron pins and the al oxide wearing 
them sloppy. The sloppier they get the more you have to grunt to squeeze 
enough to open. If youre strong enough they'll break; if not they stay shut 
and you stay outside... The one screw is hidden under the plastic/chrome 
trim the other screw is in the lock catch area of the door edge. Easy to 
take off but new ones are the only true answer. Grease them well to make 
them last...
