How to Remove the Dashboard of a Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Dashboard

Start by opening the ashtray to create space for removing the upper cover of the climate controls by simply disengaging it. Once this cover is removed, you need to take out the entire ashtray assembly, which is also clipped in, and then disconnect the rear connector. At this point, you will have access to the screws that secure the centre console, which you will unscrew and remove. Once these screws are removed, you can take out the centre console by simply unclipping it from its location and from the gear gaiter. This completes the disassembly.
