How to Remove the Rear Panel of the VW Jetta

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 5, A5 - Years 2005-2010
Part: Door trim panel

Removing the door panel for this car model is very similar to other models from the same manufacturer; start by unclipping and removing the cover of the handle located at the centre of the panel to access the screws underneath; once these two screws are removed, there is another one on the lower edge of the panel, just below the courtesy light; after removing this screw, proceed to unclip the panel by prying along the edges to release the clips and move the panel enough to disconnect the lock cable and the connectors for the speaker and window switch.
