How do I remove the inner (metal) door pannel on a 2000 VW Beetle? I need to replace the two door handle ret

I can remove the outer pannel, but I was unable to get the metal pannel off the door.

Answer:

I assume you are replacing the famous German junk door regulator with the plastic clips? Remove the door handle cover and undo the 2 screws under it. you will have to undo the star bolts along the outer perimeter and 1 or 2 in the center or right side middle. There are 2 or 3 plastic snap in clips you will have to pull out ( try easily backing them out with a screw driver. You will have to fish out the electric door lock arm. Just pull it out by removing the rubber boot. Unclip all the electrical snap In's!. There are 2 rubber grommets in the metal door. Take them out.push the glass up if you have to to get to the clips that hold the glass in place. Then loosen the screws up on both glass clips. Then pull the glass straight up and out of the car. Make sure you remove the molding around the window so you can grab the glass easily!
