It also holds the anti-rattle spring behind the handle. Old escutcheons crack, go brittle, fade or get lost when door panels come off. A missing one leaves a ragged hole in the door card and lets the handle wobble. A new set is the easiest way to finish a door panel job on a 356 or an early Beetle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJP Group is a Danish supplier that has specialised in classic Volkswagen and Porsche parts for decades, and EMPI distributes the range in the USA.
