Removing the Door Panel of a Polo

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

Do you want to remove the panel of the VW Polo? Start by prying off the cover panel from above the car door. Leverage the internal door handle: unscrew the securing screws located inside, taking care not to scratch the plastics. Use a plastic spatula to detach all the clips around the perimeter of the door panel, then pull it away using your hands. Disconnect the opening lever cable, the window regulator connectors, and the speaker connectors. Secure the clips of the door panel before refitting the cover panel.
