How to disassemble the door panel of the Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 2, Golf 2 - Years 1983-1992
Part: Door trim panel

Today we will explain how to remove the door panel of a Volkswagen Golf model 2. We begin the removal of the panel by opening the front right door and proceed with the removal of all plastic parts, unfastening everything using a flat-tip screwdriver or simply pulling with some force. We then remove the plastics around the door handle and then unscrew the door lock knob. Using a removal tool, we unfasten the windshield wiper handle and unscrew the screw at the back. We remove the plastic of the closing handle and unscrew the screws at the back with a Phillips screwdriver. Using the Phillips screwdriver, we unscrew the screws on the sides of the door, once the panel is removed we have access to the door mechanisms.

How to change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
