Complete Door Removal / Replacement

Post by RifleMan »

hi folks,

i am a newbie here, tasked with sorting out my wife's VW Polo and hopefully some of you may be able to me.

i need to replace the complete rear passenger door on my 2013 VW Polo (victim of a hit and run job) - does anyone know how I get this off please?

if anyone has any experience in changing the door or can point me in the right direction that would be great thank you and i can make the long-haired General happy about driving her cherished VW Polo again.

thank you in advance :)

7 is a torx socket

5 is a mutli spline bit - probably M8 or M10.
