Want to remove the covering panel of the Audi A3? Follow these steps to disassemble the components for panel removal. Remove the side handles above the car doors using a screwdriver, then take off the sun visors and the overhead lighting unit located in the panel.

If the car is equipped with a sunroof, open it before removing the panel. Once everything is disassembled, detach the headlining panel around the perimeter of the car roof.

When the panel is free from clips, you can pull it out of the vehicle. Repair the panel or fit a new one.
