How to open the key cover of the Volkswagen Passat

Model: Volkswagen Passat B6, 3C - Years 2005-2010
Part: Key

Knowing how to disassemble and reassemble the key cover of your car can be a great advantage as you can also replace the battery quickly and independently. To do this, first, it is important to remove the physical key from the designated compartment. Next, remove the upper part of the cover by pushing it upwards. At this point, proceed to remove the rear part of the cover. Using a flat screwdriver, gently pry it off and remove it. For the front part, you need to make a small incision with a utility knife along the perimeter to remove the existing glue. Once the entire key is disassembled, you can proceed with either replacing the battery or the entire cover.
