Do you mean the Hood Release Lever in the driver's footwell? If so, and it is like other VWs, you pull back on the lever into the release position and you can stick a small screwdriver into the gap between the lever and the clip. Then let go of the release lever and pry off the clip, which will fall behind the trim panel.

You're welcome. To reinstall it, just push the clip, which you have retrieved from behind the panel, back into the lever and press the lever onto the shaft.
