These brief steps will guide you on how to disassemble and replace the boot lid on a Volkswagen Jetta. First, open the boot lid and start disconnecting the side elastic tube; then remove the rear boot lid panel, subsequently removing the boot lock (undoing the screws and disconnecting the electrical connector), as illustrated in the video.

Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins.
