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.
