Part: Handle

In today's tutorial video, we will see how to remove the external door handle on a first-generation Skoda Fabia, as well as on a Volkswagen Polo 6N1. First, open the front door and begin by removing the side plastic cap, prising it off with something thin; then use a key or a T20 Torx screwdriver to unscrew the screws inside, as shown in the video. At this point, remove the lock cylinder first, then take off the handle; replace everything by following the reverse procedure for reassembly!
