How to Remove the External Handle of the Skoda Octavia

Model: Skoda Octavia MK 3, 5E - Years 2012-2019
Part: Handle

To remove the external opening handle attached to the door, you do not need to remove the internal trim panel. Once the door is open, there is a small rubber cap on the inner edge, right at the handle's location, which must be removed to access the fastening screw of the fixed part of the handle. After removing the cap and loosening the screw, you can extract the fixed part of the handle and then pull out the movable part by slightly rotating it. Proceed in reverse for reassembly.
