🛠️ Steps to Remove the Audi A6 C6 Front Door Panel: (SK Translation)

1. Remove all visible screws from the door panel. Don’t forget the hidden one deep inside the armrest – use a screwdriver extension.
2. Use an upholstery removal tool to gently pry around the edges of the panel to release the plastic clips.
3. Grip the panel and pull firmly outward until all clips detach.
4. It helps if the window is fully open—makes lifting the panel easier.
5. Lift the panel upward until it clears the door.
6. Close the window (if you had it down earlier).
7. Disconnect the two electrical connectors:
8. Large blue 32-pin plug
9. Smaller secondary connector
10. Release the door handle cable by prying it gently with a screwdriver.

⚠️ Pro Tips: (SK Translation)

• On older cars (like a 15-year-old A6), it’s common for plastic clip sockets to break.
• Broken sockets can be easily re-glued with hot glue—often stronger than factory.
• Consider ordering a few spare clips and sockets in advance, especially if you’re removing more than one panel.
