I just fixed my door handle yesterday as the little threaded rod that connects to the latch had fallen off. I wish I would have found this video BEFORE I started that job!
One thing you might want to add to help your viewers is that the threaded rod attached to the handle is only threaded on one side. The plastic coupler is held onto the threaded rod by a sliding plastic coupler that essentially ‘completes’ the capture of the threaded rod since internally it only has threads on one side. To remove that piece, you have to slide that coupler back to let the rod come out. Likewise, when reassembling, you have to push the sliding collar back down firmly. Otherwise, the rod will pop out after a few uses or even on the first time you open the door!
+@nedwagon thanks for the additional info! 🍻
Thank you for showing 2:56 - that little clip had popped off in cold weather and I had to get my big mitts in there. The brass piece pops down from the top and the black piece slides up to close it. Really tight in there ❤ 🇬🇧
+@wildthinair you’re welcome! 🍻
Thanks for filming Aaron!
+Phil Rivera you got it! 🍻
Your page is a blessing
+ALLAH JOSEPH thanks! Hope you’re a subscriber then 😉🍻
AMAZING!!
+@tptrsn 😎🍻
Awesome. Need to fix my tumbler. Key won’t open the door. Just spins. This should help.
+Brian Sturgill yes it should. 🍻
Got new parts today $5 eBay to repair the broken parts. Went smooth and key works perfectly, UNTIL I installed it on the car with handle. Key will NOT spin. I’m stumped. Removed and tested. Works perfect. Maybe the door lock mechanism won’t let it spin and it’s locked. Sucks.
*This was helpful thanks*
Do you have one on removing the latch? Mines needs replacing and It looks confusing
Thanks!
+Matt somethingorother you’re welcome, cheers! Sorry, but I don’t have one on the latch since I’ve never needed to do it yet
@@HelpMeDIY ok no problem.
I'm sure you will at some point lol
Thanks for the video!! I’m going to be wrapping mine next year, and so this is super helpful. Do you have a video on how to remove and replace the badges and lettering? That’s the other part that I’m curious about, since I’ll have to remove it all when I do the wrap. Thanks in advance!
+Takashi Essex no videos on that yet, but the hood emblem had 2 8mm nuts and the Boxster is glued on.
@@HelpMeDIY awesome; thank you! I’m nervous about removing them because I’m afraid that I won’t put it back in the right place; lol!
@@takashiessex116 You can find measurements online where they are to be placed.
I'm thinking of upgrading it to a modern easy open one from any other car
+Armin R. Interesting. Make a video!
Thanks for the video!
+Allen Hsu you’re welcome 🍻
Beautiful, thank you.
+The Rabbit Hole Investor you’re welcome 🍻
Thank you!

Hi. My driver’s door window drops when opening the door but then goes back up whilst the door is open and you let go of the door handle.
It’s not the handle micro switch. Seems to be the door catch, which I’ve lubricated but the problem persists.
Can you help please?
+Stuart Rankine sounds like you’re on the right path with the latch.
Did you disconnect the airbag at all or battery?
+Brian Sturgill nope, not necessary
Rad thanks. VW repair kit coming to fix the door lock mechanism this week!
@@briansturgill5905 let me know how it goes! Post some pics on my Facebook page
How do you put it back on
+Slowvalve Wraps, LLC opposite of removal?
@@HelpMeDIY yes how do I put it back on! Having a hard time
Thanks for the video - but how is it working on the driver side with the doorlock?
+@motocartoontv7103 works great! 🍻
@@HelpMeDIY it's more complicated with the key lock cylinder getting in the way of the actuator, this video shows the drivers handle in the thumbnail, but is passenger only.
While on the topic of door handles...Have you had any issues with the window not coming down quick enough to clear the top/frame and sticking/catching and popping? Thanks for the video!
+Jacob L. I haven’t really, but I think part of it is getting in the habit of lifting the handle, waiting a second, then opening the door. With any car like this you have to have a little patience :)
