Removing the Door Panel on an Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 8V, MK 3 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Door trim panel

Using a flathead screwdriver or a plastic trim tool, remove the cover near the internal handle and unscrew the two now-exposed screws. Then, unscrew the screw located under the handle and carefully pry around the panel with a flat screwdriver, detaching it bit by bit from its housing until you can remove it completely. At this point, disconnect the connectors and the lock, and the panel will be fully removed. If you only need to replace the switch panel, simply pull it out with a plastic wedge and disconnect its connector. Good luck!
