  • Tiguan door handles

    Hi all,

    Does anyone know how to take off Tiguan door handles? the outside ones.

    I'm commencing a full body wrap to the tiguan so need advise, seems different to golf door handles.


    thanks

    You'll need the special tool to release the handle from the locking mechanism.

    It's a T-handle, about 15cm long, with a short right-angled hook on the end.

        they would do the job...its just really hard to explain what to do..its easy as when you know....ive tried to explain on the phone a few times...these like a half circle you need to get the tool behind then pull towards you about 5mm then the handle releases....VDUB...

          Yes and hold your tongue at the right angle when you do it....

              I see you got your door handles off

              Did you do this yourself?

              Interested in your feedback on cost vs. difficulty and whether this is something to attempt yourself or leave it to the professionals.
