In this short and simple video, see how to remove the external door handle of the rear door on a first-generation Volkswagen Touareg. First, open the rear door and start by removing the small side plastic cap; then unscrew the fixing screw of the handle located inside using a T25 Torx key. At this point, remove the rectangular plastic cover of the handle and subsequently slide out the handle itself by moving it to the right; for reassembly, simply apply the reverse procedure!
