To replace the door lock on a Volkswagen Tiguan, open the door to access the side hole. Inside this slot, you will find a screw that needs to be loosened and completely removed.

Once this screw is fully loosened, you can slide the lock out of its housing, detaching it from the handle. When the new lock is inserted into its housing, secure it with the side screw and check its operation.
