OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

Sliding Door Handle Bushing, Delrin, 1980-84 VW Vanagon (Round Handle)
Sliding Door Handle Bushing, Delrin, 1980-84 VW Vanagon (Round Handle)
 
Sliding Door Handle Bushing, Delrin, 1980-84 VW Vanagon (Round Handle) supports your outside door handle from severe torque which can break the expensive sliding door handle. These are NLA from VW, but these are now reproduced in Delrin, lasts a lifetime! Delrin is a plastic bearing material stronger than nylon, ABS, or PVC, and it will outlive any human alive today, it's that strong and durable! These bushings are custom made with a tighter than stock fit to work better than the original one did! Most Vanagons driving around are missing the stock version of this bushing, and the handle is being abused as a result! The picture up there shows what happens if someone twists the handle the wrong way or too hard, without this bushing in place in the door!

When you purchase this item, you will just receive the black bushing, you will NOT receive a handle also. It's very important that you order the proper bushing, there are 2 different ones used. The vans are the same for 1980-92, but the bushing needed depends on the HANDLE you have on your Vanagon. The handles are interchangeable, identification is easy. The early handle (1980-84) is "Round" at the base where it sits on the door, the late handle (1985-92) is squared off (NOT ROUND) at the base.

These are very easy to install, if you can change a door handle you can install this part and prevent an expensive and annoying breakage of your Vanagon.
