You can get a new handle insert from VW and just transfer the lock it happened to mine.

how do you remove the back of the handle from the glovebox. im talking about the black box which has the mech in there?

Apologies for reviving this topic, but my glovebox door handle broke off recently as well.

Can I just replace the handle, or do I need to replace the whole glovebox assembly?

If just the handle, does anyone know the part number for it?

A how-to for replacing it would be very much appreciated!

Thanks, PH-VAP

Gotta practice your german though, or use google translate(or just look at the pictures!)
