Removing the roof panel on a Volkswagen Golf? In this video, see how to proceed with the disassembly. Start by removing the side handles of the headlining with a screwdriver, then remove the sun visors and the overhead lighting unit located in the panel. Remove the covers of the side pillars in the car. Detach the roof panel around the entire perimeter of the vehicle. Once the panel is free, you can extract it from the car. Be careful when pulling it out as it may break. Fit the new covering panel: attach the clips, install the plastics, sun visors, and lights.
