Avant 80/S2/RS2 rear door card removal - what have I missed?

[Golfboy666GTI]

Im trying to get the rear doorcard of my Avant off. Are these the only 3 screws? Also I know I lift the door card up and not out. What am I missing?





And one inside the door handle?

Pull the door lever forward there's 1 in there. And under the actual handle you'd use to shut it I'm sure the trim comes off and there's 2 screws behind it

Yes there are 2 I think behind a plastic cover trim that lives in the lower half of the pull handle (this actual trim comes off with undoing one screw). These are large screws as they have to survive big forces when the door is pulled or when a rear passenger rests their arm on the handle.

You have two screws (left and right) holding the lower plastic trim/part of the grab handle.
Loose them free take out the lower plastic part of the handle then you'll see two crews that are holding the upper part of the handle to the inisde part of the door (quite long ones) then you have the ones that you already located.

screws are precisely:

#7s (two screws)
#8s (two screws)

Standard door speakers?
I did one last year where previous owner had screwed big speakers into the door, they had to come out before the card would come off.

Cool, thanks for that. Yes, the past owner put some aftermarket speakers in.
