After the above steps, you need to unclip the trim clips, you need to start from the bottom, unfamiliar with the lock. This needs to be done with a special puller, but I was able to do it with my hands, why do we... If the clips come loose, you need to lift the trim a little up and it will come off.

The technological holes are very small and it was very awkward to glue the vibrating material with my hands (((

When they did the tinting, I saw how I pulled the trim with my hands. and now it doesn’t quite fit tightly to the doors, the part that is closer to the lock near the glass. Today I took it apart myself and all the clips are in place. but the trim itself still does not adhere well to the doors. Can this be fixed somehow?

the knife killed me at the beginning)))

Well laid out. WELL DONE. Thank you.

the car is heavier for one passenger... 10 sheets of vibration, according to my feelings, weigh 20 kg. and there will probably not be enough of them.

Everything about doors is very clear! THX! please continue! how to disassemble the ceiling and racks? I can not…

I broke one clip when I put the casing back, and some kind of crap on top, it sticks under the plastic where you have the HF)) Tomorrow I’ll look for a clip or order

Similarly, I broke the crap that is inserted under the plastic of the mirror... how did you secure the protruding trim in that place?

Yes, the same crap with plastic masks under the mirrors that they did. Please tell me the clips on the doors are all the same and how many there are. I want to stock up in advance before Shumka. Thanks in advance.

I broke one clip when I put the casing back, and some kind of crap on top, it sticks under the plastic where you have the HF)) Tomorrow I’ll look for a clip or order

Yes, who didn’t break it without it, by the way, ok.

My brain is broken as they installed the casing at the factory, I didn’t bend it, I broke it, bent this protruding piece)))

Door gluing kit for VW Polo Sedan

Next is disassembling the door. I'll tell you everything easily and simply. It’s better to pull with a jerk, and all the clips will remain alive. Unknowingly, I ruined 3 clips on the first door... I bought 10 clips in advance as a spare, just to be sure))

I glued the doors in the so-called “3 layers” 1 - Outer metal. Vibration-absorbing material Shumoff M3 + Shumoff M2. 2 - Internal metal. Vibration-absorbing material Shumoff M2 + Heat and sound insulating material Shumoff P4V. 3 — Map (plastic door trim). Vibration-absorbing material Shumoff M2. I didn’t want to make the doors too heavy; in short, I did everything without fanaticism.

Vibration-absorbing material Shumoff M3 + Shumoff M2 on the doors of VW Polo Sedan

After gluing with a vibration isolator, I wrapped all the wires with Tesa wool, glued the places where the clips came into contact with the metal with Shumoff Specific material, additionally glued the wires to the door with Shumoff Comfort 3 tape, in general, I reduced all movements in the door to a minimum. The card (plastic door trim) is also slightly glued

Next, I glued the heat and sound insulation material Shumoff P4V onto the vibration isolator layer

Update 07/03/2014:

I wrote down a comparison of glued and non-glued doors. The difference is noticeable

Fastening the front door trim

The casing is secured with three screws and hidden plastic fasteners.

The screws for fastening the casing are located - two under the handle trim, one under the speaker.

Tools you will need:

a thin slotted screwdriver

a knife

If you prepare plastic spatulas instead of a knife, there will be less chance of damaging the plastic.

To unscrew the screws you need a 30mm Torx.

It is convenient to use this plastic spatula. The large hook is great for resuscitating clips, the small one is for snapping off the trim.

If you do not have a torx t30 key, do not try to remove the screws with another tool. It is unlikely that you will be able to unscrew the screw, but to rip off the edges of the head and create additional problems for yourself.

Withdrawal algorithm

Before starting work, according to safety rules, it is necessary to remove the negative terminal from the battery.

remove the decorative trim on the door handle

a control unit for adjusting

After snapping the clip, the card must be pulled up to pull out another clip from the groove. You can see it by slightly bending the trim.

Click off the part indicated by the red arrow. The opposite part (yellow arrow) is simply disengaged.

Sheathing installation

Before starting installation, make sure that the plastic fasteners are intact.

When removing the trim without a clip remover, the clips remain in the door in the unlocked position. If the clamps are not damaged, before installing the casing, they must be “cocked” using a spatula, first inserting it between the membrane and the washer, and then pushing it up.

Broken or defective clips must be replaced with new ones, otherwise a loose fit of the trim to the door will contribute to the appearance of extraneous unpleasant sounds when the car is moving.

Installation of the casing is carried out in the following sequence:

Connect the door lock release cable.
Secure the electrical wiring harnesses and connect all previously disconnected connectors to the central locking, power window and mirror control units.
Connect the speaker.
By connecting the negative terminal of the battery, check the functionality of all electrical mechanisms. A preliminary check will allow you to correct any problems in time before the door is fully assembled.
Place the trim in place and make sure that the clips align with the seat. Secure the clips with light blows or hand pressure.

When installing the trim, you should pay attention to this protrusion that fits into the groove of the door near the glass. The plastic here is very soft, often bends and stands up unevenly.

All work must be carried out carefully without the use of brute force.

And these are the same ill-fated clips, the two on the right are broken - the result of removal without a clip cutter.

Small problems often arise when removing electrical connectors, which should be pulled out by rocking from side to side when the latch is completely unlocked.

Required Tools

To properly remove the Polo driver's door trim, you will need the following tools:

The blades are made of plastic; they will not damage the sheathing material. If they are not there, then you can use a knife with a dull blade or a thin screwdriver (slotted).
Torx wrench or 30mm hexagonal socket for removing screws.
Plastic spatula with large and small hooks. It is easy for her to snap off the latches without damaging the parts.
Pliers.

The casing is secured with three screws, and plastic latches are also used. The screw fastenings are located below the speaker (1) and on the handle under the trim (2). To avoid breaking off the screw heads, we do not recommend using other types of tools other than a wrench.

Removing the trim on the Polo

Before starting dismantling, you need to turn off the ignition and disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Then you can proceed directly to removing the Polo driver's door trim:

The plastic cover is removed from the handle - a spatula is inserted into the gap and the decorative strip is carefully removed.
If the mirror adjustment unit is located on the trim, the wiring should be disconnected.
Use a wrench or a socket to remove the screws located in the handle.
The screw located under the speaker is also unscrewed.
Using a clip remover, the plastic latches are carefully removed. It is better to start this procedure from the bottom. There are only seven latches on the front card - 6 of the same size, and one smaller. The latches on the rear doors are the same.
The casing is slightly pulled down to remove the last fixing element from the groove, and is completely removed.
The wiring for controlling the power windows, central locking, and exterior mirrors is disconnected. To do this, you need to compress the latch and remove the pad. If the connector is difficult to come out, we recommend squeezing the latch and carefully pulling out the block, moving it from side to side.
The speaker plug is disconnected.
The engagement of the door handle cable and the wiring harness is removed.
If necessary, the plug of the technological opening is dismantled.

What is door trim and its purpose?

The door trim is made of leather or leatherette at the factory. The fastening elements are clips. The material is used to cover the body element in the inner part. To make it easier to understand how to remove the door trim on a Volkswagen Polo sedan, it is worth finding out the purpose of the part.

The cladding gives the door structure a presentable appearance. It is often dismantled to install speakers for music or change the facing material. You will have to remove the trim along with the entire door panel.

The door card is part of the body element; without it, the inside of the door is hollow. Under the fabric there is a foam pad. It is designed for sound insulation and increased thermal conductivity. Rupture or damage to the fabric lining requires replacement of the fabric. Sometimes damage leads to the fact that it becomes problematic to close the door structure. In addition to the lining, the door card contains a handle, an armrest, a pocket and other niches. If this is the driver's door, then there are also buttons for raising the windows of all four doors.

Removing the door trim

Removing the trim on the front or rear door panel of a Volkswagen Polo VW sedan will require fasteners and available tools, you will need:

Disassembly instructions:

The bolts on the inside and outside of the handle are unscrewed.
Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery using a thin screwdriver.
The armrest pad is removed.
Additional wiring is disconnected from the outside rear view mirror control unit.

To do this correctly, you will need to squeeze the latch.

The central locking system is being disconnected. To do this, unscrew two small screws at the top and bottom.
The clips still hold the upholstery, so you need to move it to the side carefully to unscrew the tip and the cable sheath from the outer handle.
By squeezing the latch, the wiring harness blocks from the trunk lid lock power switch are removed.
The wire is separated from the window regulator and the retainer.
The latch is released and the casing is removed.

On Volkswagen, a clip is used as a fastening. The universal item is easy to install and comes with a special puller. Market price – 200 rubles. The clips have different tips:

Threaded fasteners are used to connect body fragments, and herringbones are suitable for fastening the trim. If you have to disassemble the door card, these elements will break, which means they will need to be replaced during subsequent assembly.

The replacement is also due to the fact that the old fasteners will provide a loose fit, which will cause extraneous sounds when the car moves.
