How to Remove the Roof Panel of an Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013
Part: Checks and maintenance

How do you remove the roof panel (inner side) of an Audi A3? Start by removing the side handles of the headlining with a screwdriver, then remove the sun visors and the overhead lighting unit (located in the panel). If the car has a sunroof, open it before removing the panel. Once everything is removed, detach the headlining panel around the perimeter of the car's roof (use a lever for assistance). As soon as the panel is free from clips, you can pull it out of the vehicle. Be careful when pulling it out as it may break.
