Attention! There are actually 5 bolts holding the trim! One more at the bottom of the trim.
Here's link to job description (also available in printer friendly PDF format):
www.wheelsandmotors.com/manua...
The clips are standard VW/Audi, so if broken can be bought for small money at any dealership or on eBay:
rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53...
To disconnect the clips, that hold trim to the door, move round bit of each clip away from the trim, so clip can come out easier, also when connecting door trim with the clips to the door, make sure that round bits are pulled away from the trim, so clips can get inside their holes.
If you are looking for new buttons/switches unit, here's the link to eBay page, that shows all results for this part (check compatibility before you buy):
rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53...
And if you are looking for tools to do this job, here's another link:

Thank you! I just replaced mine watching your video. Only thing that was different on mine was there was one more screw at the very bottom of the door panel. Another money saver from KZfaq University 😊 2005 Audi A6 ✅

You're welcome! I mentioned that bottom screw in video description, unfortunately not many people look in there... I hope you didn't have too much trouble with it. 🙄

How can you set the remote to open windows. My 2006 key in door will lower windows but unlock button remote doesn’t. Is there a way to program?

@wawayltd 4 жыл бұрын

Not sure how to program that if it doesn't work. On vags to open windows normally you need to press and hold unlock button. But automatic window winding should be on as well. You know like when you disconnect battery for some reason and your windows get glitchy - they don't close automatically, you have to keep your finger on a button, in that case remote option to operate windows also won't work.

I know these windows are sensitive to resistance - if something gets in the way they go back. Perhaps it could be misaligned window glass. I can't make a new video -I don't have that car anymore, but recently I had to replace window motor for Seat and had to fiddle a bit to get it straight. By the way - does it open and close with remote key (press and hold)?

+WheelsAndMotors hi, I am just down the road😉, UK m8. I think I need to get much deeper then just panel as that white plastic actuator is lockated deep inside and me thinks needs stripping the whole door. I deffo wont be doing that. Its just annoing I need to use keys to open my door nothing major. It seems lots of other people are having the same issues. About the bolt not to worry the pannel its on its place, got little sound when driveing on bumps but again nothing major. maybe I will change whole door if I come across somewere. thanks for the video

Hi, if you still have "Owners Manual" with your car - page 61, if not - one of the buttons to deactivate interior monitor alarm (it's off when lit up), for example if you leave you pet inside it can move inside the car without activating alarm. The other button is tow-away protection. You can deactivate it if the car is on recovery truck or ferry etc.
