As shown in this tutorial, removing the door panel on a Volkswagen Polo is an extremely simple and quick operation. Start by opening the door in question, then using a plastic spatula to avoid leaving marks, unclip the front half of the grab handle.

Next, unscrew the two screws just freed, then remove the additional screw located on the lower edge, and by pulling towards you, separate the panel from the door. At this point, simply disconnect the window regulator connector and fit any replacement part.
