Removing Handle on Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Handle

Open the door from the opposite side of the broken handle and do so from the inside. Once opened, you can start working: remove the cap covering the handle screw, then use a plastic trim tool (not metal, or you will scratch everything!) or a small flathead screwdriver to remove the shorter (fixed) part of the handle. At this point, it will be easy to remove the main, longer part: simply slide it off the hooks by moving it left and right. To fit the new one, of course, proceed in reverse order. Check the operation.
