Today we will explain how to unscrew the outer part of the door of the Volkswagen Golf 5. To perform this simple operation, we need to unscrew the six bolts along the door. We then remove the side seal of the door and using an electric screwdriver, we unscrew the six bolts.

Once the locking bolts are removed, we remove the outer part of the door by pulling outwards. Now it will be possible to perform the inspection and maintenance operations of the door or replace and repaint the door itself.

The assembly of the door follows the reverse procedure.
