Start by removing the door panel of the Volkswagen Golf 5 by unscrewing all the Torx screws located on the panel, beginning from the bottom. Use a small Torx key for this operation.

Next, detach the handle by first removing the clip and then the screws that hold it in place, using a larger Torx key. Now you can safely remove the panel, taking care with the electrical components, specifically the connectors that need to be disconnected.

Once the panel is removed, you can carry out internal or external work, such as changing the fabric of the panel or replacing the panel itself.
