To replace the door panel on a Volkswagen Polo, use a tool like a screwdriver to pry off the trim of the armrest; beneath this trim, you will find the fastening screws that need to be loosened. Once these screws are removed, proceed to unscrew the additional fastening screws located on the left side and at the bottom centre of the panel.

After all these screws are loosened, you can detach the panel and disconnect the underlying connectors to replace it with a new one.
