In this video tutorial, you will see the main steps to remove the outer door panel of a fifth-generation Volkswagen Golf. First, open the door and remove the plastic cover found on the side; then remove the adhesive and unscrew the T20 Torx screw using a socket or ratchet.

At this point, you can extract the square piece of the handle (the cylinder) and then remove the handle by prying with something thin, as shown in the video.

Unscrew the screws found underneath; then follow the video until the end!
