Video tutorial

In this video, you will remove the driver’s side door panel from a Volkswagen Golf 7. First, unscrew the nut located at the bottom (at the level of the reflector): just turn it a quarter turn. Remove the grab handle by levering in the designated slot: then unscrew the hex screw.

Once the screws and connectors are removed, carefully detach the panel: you will need something plastic to lever it off, and be careful not to apply too much force as the internal clips may be too tight, risking breaking the supports.
