How do you Remove Inside Door Handle?

Milk Man

I am replacing the side panels in my 1974 Arrow and everything is self explanatory except the panel on the door. I have to remove the door handle to remove the panel and it is not obvious on how to remove it. Any suggestions?

I think your '74 is probably different than my '77 Arrow. Can you post a picture?

Milk Man

It may have the Jesus Clip behind the panel.

There is a Black plastic insert in the handle that has a slit to insert a Flat Head Screw Driver and lightly pry it out, then there is 1 Phillips Screw that holds it in. Less than 1 minute operation.

The Platic Trim Piece around the door handle broke when pulled it off. Be Very Careful.

Now I have to find this piece on Ebay, etc...

That piece is a Volkswagen part.

Found 2 options on Ebay. The Chrome one is just like the one on my plane.

The one for $31.95 is actually metal and not plastic like your original.

Great work, Gents! :)

That was a very useful discussion. Parts sourcing amazing.

wow nice job everyone, thank you!

I actually bought both the Chrome Metal and the Black Plastic Handles. I used the Chrime Metal one. It did not come with the black plastic insert trim piece, so used my old one.

The VW part numbers are on the backs of the parts themselves
