Model: Volkswagen Tiguan 5N, MK 1 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Handle

Today we will see, in this video tutorial, how to remove the front door handle on a first-generation Volkswagen Tiguan, following the instructions below. First, open the front door and remove the clip found on the sides of the door; then, using something sharp, pry inside to first remove the rectangular piece from the outside, as shown in the video. Once removed, you can extract the handle, gently prying (but without damaging the bodywork); apply the reverse procedure for reassembly!
