ABSTRACT:
A vehicle door closure includes a door lock containing a closing element, an outer opening handle pivotally mounted in a holding plate or handle shell of the vehicle door, a coupling element connecting the door lock to the outer opening handle and a connecting device that connects the coupling element to the outer opening handle and compensates for tolerances between the door lock and the outer opening handle. The connecting device is arranged in the coupling element in such a way that it can be moved longitudinally and connected to the coupling element in a positive or non-positive fit manner during assembly of the outer opening handle, the connecting device being locked on the coupling element.
