Part: Door trim panel

To replace the door panel on a Volkswagen Golf 7, detach the trim from the door handle so that you can unscrew the underlying fixing bolts. Once these are removed, unscrew the one above the glove compartment, also disconnecting the connectors inside the panel. This way, the piece will be completely freed, and you can pull it away from the door. Finally, insert a new panel, connecting it to the connectors and securing it with screws.
