How to Replace the Door Panels on an Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 8P, MK 2 - Years 2003-2013
Part: Door trim panel

First, open the door in question. Using a plastic trim tool, start lifting the indicated parts in the video, namely the small panel above the armrest, the one near the handle, and the one next to the window switch. This will allow you to unscrew all the bolts behind these panels and proceed to remove the panel by lifting it off the clips that hold it, starting from the bottom. Now, disconnect the connectors at the back, and you're done. Retrace your steps to reassemble the various components.
