How to disassemble the outer panel of the rear door in the Volkswagen Golf?

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 external panel of the rear door in the Volkswagen Golf, to be done for example in case we need to replace the lock. First of all, we open the door we will be working on, then we remove the vertical plastic trim, locate the indicated hole and, with a Torx T20 key, loosen the bolt being careful not to let it fall. We then extract the lock cylinder, remove the handle and continue by unscrewing all the various bolts indicated. At this point, all that's left is to separate the panel from the door.
