factory mk3 handles aren't a direct swap... ask me how i know


you can get the chinese handles on the whoretex somewhere and they are cheap. both in price and quality. i've read lots of stories of people who used them with great success and ones who have been locked out of their car because of them.

Yeah you have to get the chinese ones but be careful some aren't really the actual oem ones but cheap knock offs(ask me how I know )mine are knock offs and they don't operate very smoothly, from what I know if you have the actual oem ones they work just fine.
