Hi all, does anyone else have an issue with handles snapping off? Replacement from VW is silly cost!
Anyone know where to else you can source them?
Thanks

The lovely tall cabinet handles of the Grand California

The handles on the tall cupboards in the Grand California are undoubtedly one of the biggest weak points, and Volkswagen has not touched them in the facelift ei

As my handles kept breaking down I put a narrow round rod in the groove. It clamps itself firmly in the bend. No more open left door.

Hi
There are some nice magnetic catches available. Direct swap out.
Search the forum .

The magnetic ones are worth their weight in gold.

I’ve discovered that if you push on the cupboard door just slightly before you pull the handle it will release no problem and you won’t break the handle. I think they designed the handle/latch so the doors don’t rattle as you drive
