Video tutorial

See how to remove the tailgate trim on a Volkswagen Golf VII, located between the lights and the logo. This requires a certain decisiveness combined with care to avoid breaking the clips.

It is better not to use tools but only your hands. Open the tailgate; the video emphasises that you should not be timid.

Insert your fingertips under one end of the trim and pull upwards quickly and decisively. The video confirms that if you do not do it quickly, you will not achieve a good result.

The key is decisiveness. A sharp movement is safer than a slow and hesitant one that risks damaging the plastic.
