Exclamation I really need a part for my 02 VW PLEASE HELP


Hello!
I drive a 02 VW Beetle. My interior door 'pull' handle ( to shut the door ) has broke!! I need a replacement for both doors.

It seems that NOBODY sells any online, and i cant afford to pay 1,000$ for two new/used door panels as much as i would like too *my fabric is coming off*

i dont have any pictures at the moment.

ANY help?? PLEASE.

Much appriciated.

xoxo
Sara

Go to your local junkyard (craigslist?) to get a used inner panel of the door,
I know it's not to helpful but that's what I'd do.

They're not as expensive as you might think

Just need to know where to look!
But you're right, there doesn't seem to be many "grab handles"
Just door handles and safety handles

Take a look at this thread:
Broken door handle: Any ideas on how to fix (w/ pics)?

It might give you an idea on how to repair it instead of replacing it.

Lol thanks for the link

It's really hard to find one Espically if your in desperate need!
But thank you again

My car is a metallic grey, and so I'm on a hunt!
I've never been to a junk yard so it may be a new adventure.

Do you need the rear side panels?

I have both the right and left interior REAR (back seat area) side panels for sale for CHEAP! If you're interested, I can post up some pics later tonight when I get home from work.

(I don't have a NB anymore, so I just want to sell my left over parts for cheap just to get them out of the basement!)

You can always spray paint the doors yourself, or make it a bi-Colour beetle :P
Make sure you don't buy a convertible beetle door panel. They're different!
