Removing Door Panel on Volkswagen Polo

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Door trim panel

First, remove the cover of the central handle by prying it open with a plastic wedge (do not use a metal tool to avoid damaging the plastics) and disconnect the connector for the window switch. At this point, unscrew the two screws that are now exposed. Once you reach this point, unscrew the other screw located at the bottom of the panel as shown in the video. Done! Now, pry with a trim tool around the entire gap of the panel and remove it. Disconnect the cables and you're done. Proceed in reverse for reassembly.
