How do you remove the door handle on a Volkswagen Golf 8?

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf 8, MK 8, Golf Viii - Years 2019-2026
Part: Handle

Open the door and look for the plastic cap on the side of the panel, near the lock. Use a flathead screwdriver to remove the cap and access a Torx screw. Loosen the Torx screw without completely removing it, in order to unlock the lock cylinder. Extract the cylinder by gently pulling it outwards. Remove the handle: pull it slightly backwards and then remove it carefully. To reassemble, follow the steps in reverse, making sure the Torx screw is securely tightened. Be careful not to force the components to avoid damage. If you do not feel confident in performing these maneuvers, seek help from an expert.
