Anyone know how to remove the passenger door panel on the JSW? I have a 2013 TDI and cannot figure out how to get it off.

I did find this write up on how to remove the driver's door, but found nothing on the passenger door panel.

I would appreciate some advice.

Thanks!

Just pry it off. Typically they recommend at trim tool or maybe a screwdriver wrapped with tape. I just stuck the screwdriver in and went for it. Below is how it is described at the link I provided.

"The red arrow indicates where you should start to pry the piece upwards, it starts to pop up pretty easily and you shouldn't have to use much pressure. Work your way around the piece carefully pulling towards you and slightly upward. Once you reach the rear you should be able to slide it forward. Be careful not to pull the rear section straight out, as it is looped in behind the main panel and you might break something."

That is for the Golf or GTI, not for the JSW.

I figured it out on my own without breaking it. You have to remove the lower half of the handle by pulling out. Thanks to all for your help.
