Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video we're going to show you how to remove and replace the door panel on this 2005 Volkswagen Jetta. We show you on the driver side but the passenger side is a similar procedure. The items you'll need for this are a T20 Torx driver, a T30 Torx bit and ratchet, and a flat blade screwdriver.
Pry up on the front of the switch panel, and if it doesn't pop up entirely then just pry it from the back. Then it'll pull free, and you can just pull that out. The passenger side is similar, but instead of prying out the switch panel, you want to just pry out on this pull handle. Behind it, you'll see these two T30 screws. You want to slide the inner part of the handle back towards the door and out. Then there are the two T30 screws on the driver's side. Then there are four T20 screws, three at the bottom and one up at the top inside. We'll fast-forward here as I remove all those screws. Then just pull out on the edge of the door panel. You want to do this all the way around the outside edge. Once you've released all of those clips, just slide the door panel up and out of the window sill.
Then pull the door panel back. Push out on this clip, and then unhook the cable from the door handle, and then push the tabs on either side of this harness for your speaker and just disconnect it. Then push the tab on this harness while lifting up on that purple lever and the harness will release. Then your door panel's free. Pry of this panel on the side of the door and any clips that get left behind, pull them out and then just slide them back into place on the panel.
Now, to replace your door panel, reconnect this harness and push that purple lever back down. Reconnect your speaker, and then re-hook your door handle cable into place. Slide that back and put the cable back in. Put your door panel back up to the window sill, and make sure the clips on the edges have lined up, and then hit them back into place. Now, we'll fast-forward as Mike replaces those two T30s and the four T20 screws and tightens them up. Slide this handle back into place, and then put your switch panel back down. You're all set.
