How To: Remove rear door card A6 c7

[Steve Q]

All you need is a Torx 20 bit, a flat blade or trim removal tool and some brute force!!

Top tip is to wind the window down to give you easier access when removing the door card

First you need to remove the aluminium (or whatever colour) trim by the door handle using the flat blade to reveal the two hidden screws 

Back of removed trim so you can see the clips. 

Then undo the screw below the door handle. 

Next is to the flat blade at the bottom and start levering towards you. Once you can get your hands in simppy work your way around to the top. Don't be afraid to use a bit of brute force

Then pull the door car up and start unclipping the plugs and door handle

Top is the speaker cable

Unclip the Yellow clip for the door handle cable 

Finally undo the connector that goes into the door control module at the bottom (bottom of the pic)

Fitting is reversal of removal!! Clip the plugs and door handle cable back in

Then lift the door card back onto the lip at the top; having the window down as far is goes makes this step a little easier!

Put the screws in

Tap the clips back into place

Job done

Hope this helps
