To replace the centre console lid on a Volkswagen Golf, you will need to completely disassemble the console: you can do this using a tool to pry off the trims around the armrest and the gear lever. Underneath, you will find the screws that secure the drawer where the lid is located: by detaching the drawer, you can then remove the old lid and fit the new one. Finally, reassemble everything, ensuring that the new lid moves smoothly.
