The "oh shit" handle (grab handle above the passenger door for when you give it some gas) is currently broken on my GTI.
Last night, I was recruited to pick up my mother's cousin from her house and bring her to the passover seder. Afterwards, I brought her back home.
This morning, my friend was in the car and asked me "Hey, is this handle supposed to be hanging down like this?" at which point the spring popped out and landed on his lap.
Any ideas on how to pop the spring back in? It's under a lot of pressure, and I can't really squeeze my pliers in there while keeping it compressed to hook the ends in.
I can't think of anything more obnoxious than breaking someone's car and then not telling them about it. Had she said "oops, I'm sorry" or anything, I wouldn't be pissed. People make mistakes, shit happens. The fact that she didn't own up to it is what gets me...
