Well, it doesn't sound like you're describing an outside door handle, 
and this doesn't sound like a VW inside door handle, either. So would 
it be the window winder knob?

If so, there were 2 styles. Early cars used a pin thru the handle and 
shaft, while late cars have a screw that comes from the fact of the 
winder into the end of the shaft. The screw head is hidden under a 
plastic strip.

What year is your Type 3?
