when i bought my 90tsi, the passagner door handle was already off, then last night after i was letting my car cool, i tried to open the driver side handle and it came off too. so i had to take a hanger, hook the part of the door that pulls it open and take needlenose plyers and grap it and pull, it took a few minutes but finally got it. my question is can i take apart my door and get to the handle peice to somehow superglue this peice back in? haha. what should i do? i have to go through the hatch to get in the car now.

AHAHAHAHAHAH DUDE I AM SO WITH U! same thing happened to me last month hanger and needlenose pliers and everything... and my passenger door lock and hatch lock was busted. first you gotta get a handle... junkyard or whatever..
first take off the inner door panel
second roll down the glass almost too the bottom... you have to go through the hole in the plastic near the bottom middle of the door and remove the 2 screws holding the glass in place.. then slide/lift the glass out of the car door you HAVE to remove the glass
third.. take a long screwdriver and go though the slot where glass came out and unlatch the yellow clip holding the old handle to the rod that opens the door.. ur gonna have to pry/slide/push the rod out of the yellow clip
fourth remove the 2 screws holding the old handle in.. one is in the door jam on the door.. the other you have to undo from the inside of the door
fifth remove the lock retaining ring.. it hooks over the top AND bottom of the lock.. after you get that off you can just slide the lock out of the handle
after you do all this you SHOULD be able to shimmy the old door handle out this whole process is a pain in the ass.. supergluing the handle won't work.. this is the only thing other then buying a new door that you can do
getting it back together is even worse.. lol good luck man i feel for yah
