The procedure to remove the handle from an Audi A3 is quite simple; you will only need a 90° hex key to use as a sort of hook. To begin, open the door from which you want to remove the handle and remove the rubber cover located at handle height, which covers the hole you need to access.

Inside, you will notice a plastic support split in half. To release the handle, insert the key into it and turn it towards the inside of the door, as if using a hook, and pull outward.

Once done, first remove the fixed part of the handle and then, being careful with the connected clip, also slide out the movable part. This way, you will have the handle free and can replace or repaint it as you wish.

Finally, to reassemble it, simply perform the operations in reverse.
