Was out cleaning the wife's and noticed this, it seems maybe it has been removed at some point and not put back on correctly, now when I open the passenger door I can pull this out, I need to sort it out and wondered if anyone knows what parts I need to order to correct it?, thanks

No one help with this?

Don’t think you need any parts. There should be a vertical plastic locking bar that you should be able to see in the hole where you’ve removed the small rear section of the handle from. Ensure the locking bar is moved to the right (the rear edge of the door). Once you re-insert the part of the handle you have in your hand (photo 3) back into its hole on the door, the locking bar needs to be pushed to the left (the front of the car) through one of the two holes (your first photo) in the door edge to secure the handle back in place.
This video on YouTube might be of help - really poor quality, but the information you need is from about 2min 15 sec into the video - the lighting in the video improves at around 2min 23sec when you can clearly see the locking bar.
Edit; forgot to attach the link to the video! :grin:. Here it is;

Thanks will take a look, I looked on the drivers side and it has bolts coming from the holes :undecided:

I thought you only bought the car recently? If so can't you take it back and get them to fix it FOC?

I did, it’s got a 1 year vw warranty but if it was a simple fix (which it was) I could do it, which I have :nerd:

Glad you got it sorted :smiley:.

Pleased it's all sorted and an easy fix :smiley:
You have much patience.
I'd have been stood next to whoever has the keys while they opened up at the local dealers the following morning.

Cheers for the help, it wasn't easy and didn't seem to want to engage, but think its done correctly
