Vw heritage sliding door handle

Anyone had one of these and been able to swap the lock barrel? Just got one today and there isnt a grub screw just a rivet or something....

Yes, looks like a pin. Can you drive it out from the other side?

Nope it's solid on the other side, I'm thinking the only option might be to drill it out. Not a very tempting thought as I don't want to wreck the handle......

Is the thread on the barrel rather than the handle casting?

Why not try cutting a slot in it and seeing if it will unscrew? Might be a screw with the head chopped off
