Remove the door panel from a VW Passat? Start by removing the protection panel above the door and all its components.

Once all screws are removed with the trim tool, detach the plastic clips securing the door. Carefully pull off the door panel, disconnect any power connectors and release cables. Lift the panel upwards and remove it from above the door. Fit a new door cover panel.
