Removing the Front Door Panel on a Volkswagen Golf Mk4

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Door trim panel

In today's video tutorial, you will learn how to remove the front door panel on a fourth series Volkswagen Golf in simple and quick steps. First, open the front door and unscrew all the screws securing the panel; these are located on the sides of the door shell and beneath the window switch panel (remove the switch panel by prying it up with something thin). Once all the screws are removed, begin to pry the panel away from the door at multiple points to unclip it; all that’s left is to disconnect the handle cable found at the back!
