In this tutorial, we can see how to disassemble the tailgate panel in the Volkswagen Golf, an extremely simple and quick operation. First, we open the tailgate itself, then we locate both the screws inside the handles and those underneath the indicated door and unscrew them using a Torx T20 key. We then unclip the cover of the upper edge, continue with the side pillars, and, levering along the entire perimeter, separate the panel from the tailgate.

To install the replacement and reassemble everything, simply follow the reverse procedure.
