How to Remove the Front Door of the Volkswagen Golf 6

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 6, Golf VI, Golf 6, 5K1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Car door

In this video tutorial, you can see how to remove the front door of the Volkswagen Golf 6. The first step, once the door is open, is to take a small flathead screwdriver and start prying off the plastic cover of the handle. Then, use a larger screwdriver. Once this cover is removed, take a Torx key and remove the three Torx screws inside. After removing the three screws located under the plastic cover, there is another screw under the panel that should also be removed with the same key. Once all screws are removed, use the screwdriver to lever from underneath the panel and disengage all the clips. After all clips are released, pull the panel upwards to remove it. Disconnect the cables, and you're done.
