Removal of the Manual Window Handle

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

Manual window winders are certainly cheaper than electric ones, especially regarding labour. However, this does not make them indestructible; it is only a matter of reliability. Here’s how to disassemble a handle for use: this is a very easy and practical operation that requires no tools. Just push the lower part to the right and then slide it off; you will notice there is a catch. To reassemble it, simply insert the threaded part into the hole and push to the left; the same applies to the front door. I made it sound more complicated than it is, but as you can see, it’s very simple.
