How to Remove the Tailgate Panel of the Audi A6

Model: Audi A6 MK 3, C6 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Door trim panel

Open the trunk of your vehicle and use a plastic tool to pry off the red lights on the top of the tailgate and disconnect the connectors. Now, you need to unscrew the screws that are well hidden on the top of the tailgate. There is a hand screw in the center at the top that you must turn to open the panel where the warning triangle is located, and on the back, you can see the two holes where the screws need to be removed. Now comes a slightly delicate part; you will need to use a special lever to lift the plastic parts on the columns next to the rear window. You will need to perform the same operation on the plastic around the upper edge of the tailgate. Now, there are two levers left to disengage to completely remove the panel, but be careful of the connected connectors.
