There's probably a couple torx screws and then just pull f'king hard. I can check elsa on Sunday night / Monday if no one does before then.

Doc, you couldn't make this a sticky in the 'Maintenance + info' section, could you?

This sort of stuff is always useful.

That is just for the MK5, the MK6 was a new design and means you don't have to take the outer door skin off any more.

They were taken from Elsawin, you can buy it on Ebay or download it. VW data is about 16GB in size, VW, Seat, Audi and Skoda is about 37GB

Sorry I was just going by what the link says 2005.5-2010 VW Jetta or Golf (and probably newer)

There are places you can get ElsaWin but we can't say on here apart from fleabay.

As good as any YouTube vid. :afro: The other thing I'll add is that the inner door handle and silver door trim are pop studded and then plastic welded into position so you can't remove them. Bit of a bugger if you snap the inner door handle like my brother did as you have to get a whole new replacement door card with the handle in situ.
