Removing Door Panel on Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Door trim panel

Lift the window switch panel and disconnect its connectors, then remove the two screws now exposed. As shown in the video, unscrew all the screws securing the panel from underneath and the sides. Done! At this point, you can remove the panel by pulling it by hand in every part and disconnecting the rear cables. Having reached this point, you can also replace the speakers if you wish, or proceed in reverse and reassemble the new panel. Connect the connectors, fit it back in place, screw in all the fixing screws, and install the window switch panel. A fairly simple and quick operation.
