Used OEM Volkswagen door handle release bowden cable (part number 3CN972296A, also replaces 3CN839085) for the rear right door. This cable connects the exterior handle to the latch mechanism; a common failure is the handle feeling slack or failing to open the door. Removed from a compatible Volkswagen Atlas or Atlas Cross Sport equipped with either the 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder or the 3.6L V6.
