In this guide we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the central tunnel of the Volkswagen Golf. First of all, we get on board the car and start unscrewing all the fixing screws we find inside the plastics of the central tunnel, removing the various covers; then we remove the rear ventilation nozzles to later remove the entire central tunnel, as shown in the video.

At this point it will be possible to access the handbrake adjustment cables; we make any necessary repairs or replacements and finally reassemble the central tunnel!
