How do you remove the passenger door panel on a Volkswagen Polo? This video illustrates how to proceed. Before starting the disassembly work, disconnect the battery terminals located in the front engine bay. Using a lever or screwdriver, pry at the handle on the door panel to detach its covering.

Use a screwdriver to undo any screws present on the panel, then use a plastic lever to detach all the clips around the perimeter of the door panel, and pull it away by hand. Now, disconnect the opening lever cable, the window lift terminals, and the speaker terminals.

Reassemble everything by retracing your steps.
