Should be screws on the door on the pillar side when you open it. It might be a bit under the rubber seal.

Yes,
the door handles are the same as Beetles...
thats if its a 1970 on type 3...
the early ones were different...

but , Yes, You lift the rubber off,
and there will be one screw...
You take the screw out and then slide the handle forwards... carefully..
and it will come out...

I have one thick German chromed scratch plate on...
Maybe the aluminium ones fit better... easier..
or the handles are easier to fit back on..
I think I may have to file the other thick german scratch plate to get it on...

I will check it out tommorow hopefully
I was scared to start taking out screws since knowing my luck everything would just break and it would NOT be good
