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

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!)
