111-837-595A VW Window Crank Handle Plastic Buffer - Late Models

Interior Handle Plastic Buffer – 111-837-595A

The 111-837-595A is a small but critical component for any late-model Volkswagen restoration. These plastic rings are sold individually, and a standard vehicle typically requires four (one behind each window crank). While they are nearly invisible once installed, their presence is the difference between a door panel that stays looking new and one that develops circular wear marks around the handles.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Assembly Sequence: Place the buffer ring onto the handle shaft first, followed by the handle and secure it with the retaining screw.

• Check for Burrs: Before installing, ensure the back of your metal window crank is smooth. If there are metal burrs from years of use, sand them down so they don't cut through your new plastic buffer.

• Quantity Check: Since these are sold individually, remember to order enough to cover all the handles in your cabin to ensure a consistent look and protection throughout.
