Passenger door does not open how easy it it to get the doorcard off?


Recommended Posts

hi there pretty easy to get of mate,just unscrew the bolts behind the door handle covers on the door card,unscrew the door plunger,remove(slide)the cover around the door catch,and with a bit of pressure pull the dood card,(i usually start at the bottom corner)its just on clips that pop out with enough pressure,be careful to not break the doorcard though,when all the clips are popped off just slide it out from under the plastic window thingy,hope its helped a little

Ok thanks will try as soon as I get home from work

as above if you can take the pasanger seat out through the drivers side (unclip from the front and slide back out of sliders) this will make it so much easyer then just hook something under the bottom of door card and unclip enough to get your hand in you will feel the back of the handle follow the rod that goes between handle and lock and you should be good from there.....good luck...

yep slide it back first and in the middle front is a square peg squeeze it and extract,, down the side of seat ( hand brake side is a long thin cover slide this back and it will come off and on opposite side at end of slider is a cap pull off then just slide the seat right back and thats it takes about 5-10 mins

Sometimes the lever that the polo handle catches to open the door needs to be bent slightly as the catch on the golf handle is slightly different to the one on the polo handle.

So i'm guessing the polo handle might not have picked up the lever hence leaving you with an un openable door.

I had to take my door card off twice in the 3yrs i've had mine. Last time i did it (about 2yrs ago) i bent the lever slightly and touch wood never had the problem since :)
