Today, with the help of this video tutorial, you will learn how to reupholster the door panel of a Volkswagen Polo. The first step is to remove the door panel; to do this, you must first remove the handle using a screwdriver as a lever and then remove the four central screws.

Next, remove the three lower screws and pull the panel outward.

Once the panel is off the door, you can remove the fabric. Since the panel is not removable, you will need to heat the plastic to remove the area where the fabric is attached.

Finally, proceed to remove the old fabric. Before applying the new fabric, it is necessary to remove the previous glue using sandpaper.

Once the panel is clean, apply a layer of glue and lay down the new fabric. Using contact adhesive, you can reattach the panel to the door.

When the job is dry, you can refit the panel onto the door.
