Good Morning,

 

I'd previously been posting in an extremely old thread from 2018, but It hasn't garnered much response. 

 

Last weekend I collected a '67 L&K, before driving away I get everything a good going over to check for any faulty electrics or broken components in the cabin. I unfortunately failed to check the ski hatch release handle from inside the cable. I checked this when I got home to find the handle not correctly attached. The previous post suggests this could have been an assembly issue from factory, with some first time owners reporting issues soon after collecting their vehicle.

 

The garage I purchased from have advised they're happy to have this repaired, but advised me to seek a 'specialist' rather than going to the main 'stealer.' If I can source the replacement part I'm happy to do the work myself. I've been able to speak to the local Skoda Dealership and they have advised that the handle assembly for ski hatch is £130.18 inc vat, this is reference 17 on the screenshot attached. What I'm unsure of is if I can split the original part 17  from 14,15 & 16.

 

the million dollar question here is, has anyone had any success with this, given the the previous thread I'm assuming other people have encountered the same issue?

Ok, I guess its just me that has this issue then.

Bruh, if your handle snapped, you can try this.

 

I did this wonky diy repair yesterday and it works.
