Let’s look at removing the door trim panel on a Passat. Before removing the trim panel, it’s best to disconnect the battery power connectors.

Remove the cover located in the handle, then unscrew the screws inside. Unscrew the remaining screws on the door panel and detach the securing clips.

Grasp the panel with your hands and lever it off the door: pull gently to avoid breaking the plastics. Fit a new door trim panel with all the associated mounting pieces.
