So the outside handle on the passenger side sliding door (ie the one the kids have yanked at for 6.5 Years) has given up the ghost. The inside handle works fine so I'm guessing that there is a cable/rod connecting the handle to the mechanism.
Does anyone know anything about how to fix this (or even how to remove the sliding door trim)?
Edit: This seems to show how to get the door out competely (which I'm assuming is necessary to get the trim off and into the inside of the door). It also looks like a two man job.
From there I can see the parts that are likely to be busted... although it could be just loose... or something broken... will have to see which is a pain with the door off and not really near anything with spares...
I'm off for the next couple of weeks I'll have a look see, but maybe this will end up being a Volkswerke fix while it's in for it's next service (which is due now).
