To replace the door panel on the Volkswagen Jetta, loosen the screws securing the grab handle and remove it. Next, loosen the bolt that acts as a pivot for the window winder. Then, leverage the inner part of the handle to pry off the cover: the screw underneath must be loosened to remove the entire handle assembly.

At this point, you can detach the entire panel, always prying with the same screwdriver. Once the old panel is completely removed, you can replace it.
