Colour coded tailgate handle

[Chippy1970]

Can anyone confirm what parts I'd need to buy to change my black plastic with keyhole handle on my t6.1 tailgate , to a colour coded handle without a keyhole.

As it's electric I'm sure it's easy to swap over no mechanical rods or anything

Looking at online pics it looks like the colour coded cover pops off anyone know if these would just clip into my existing lockable handle, obviously after removing the existing cover

Thats what was done with mine when I had mine replaced. Had to have the lock removed though so a hole remains behind the colour coded cap, but meant I didn't need to buy the whole electric handle and cradle.

That's great news cheers Paul

@PaulR83 where did you get the cover from? I’ve had a good look online and can’t seem to find one anywhere.

Hi, garage supplied it. From memory you need GRU in the part number for the factory primed one.
