Can anyone tell me if there is a knack to getting the passenger door handle trim off?

From earlier postings I found a link and have bought and fitted a new driver door handle trim, from ebay.

Unfortunately the guy 'vwtrims', does not have the correct passenger door trim too.

Was thinking of taking it off and removing the rest of the flaking covering. Might get the part number too and see how much it would cost from a dealer. Only minor but the rest of the interior is immaculate, so thought it worth the effort.

Slightly confused mate?

I can answer you question but passenger or driver's door trim? Which bit exactly?

Look under the bottom of it, you seperate it from its seam that runs along there, they are propper tight though.

Many thanks. I managed to get it off last night. I also managed to take a small chunk of skin off my finger too i the process!

Anyway, phoned my nearest Skoda dealer and was quoted only a few pounds for a replacement. As soon as I asked, the guy said that the rubber coating is really prone to flaking off.

Agree with that - but you can get it replaced under warranty
