Wow, awesome video. I watched a few before I found yours and someone was removing all the interior trim. One hint for others trying this, when removing the skin, open the front door so you don't scratch it when removing/installing. Also, you can access the hidden bolt at 2:16 by closing the rear door and getting to it from the front door side.

At 4:40 you also need to migrate the spring from the old unit to the new one to but tension on the door handle

[@hans-joachimtannenberger4911]

Put* tension ...

[@ZakiGarage]

True the spring has to be moved to the new lock.

[@seanwallace1972]

Is this process the same for the mk6 golf

[@lbr_lapka]

I think yes. I'll do this today.

[@seanwallace1972]

If you can I’d love to see it as my daughters golf is a mark 6

[@lbr_lapka]

In my golf mk6 I need replacement hole doors. Its impossible to take off front panel. Outside part is welded with inside part 😞
