How to disassemble the tailgate panel in the Volkswagen Golf Variant?

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Door trim panel

In this tutorial, we can see how to disassemble the tailgate panel in the Volkswagen Golf Variant, an extremely simple and fast operation. First of all, we open the tailgate itself, then we locate the small caps inside the two handles and unhook them. We then unscrew the screws that have just been released using a Torx T20 key, we pry along the perimeter of the panel with a preferably plastic spatula, so as not to leave any marks, and separate it from the tailgate. To mount any replacement, just follow the reverse procedure.
