How to Remove the Rear Door Panels on a 2002 Audi A4


1. Remove the door top trim, which will be wood or plastic. Pull the front edge of the trim away from the door gently until you hear the snaps release. Continue pulling the front edge outward until all the snaps release. Pull the trim forward (towards the front of the car) to release the rear fastener.
2. Remove the screws underneath the trim with a Phillips screwdriver. Remove the screws that are concealed in the door handle. Remove the screw from the bottom center of the panel.
3. Starting at the lower, rear edge of the door panel, slide a plastic scraper between the door panel and the door. Pry the door panel away from the door until the snaps release, working your way around the perimeter of the door. You may need to pull hard to get the clips to release.
4. Pull the door panel up vertically to release it from the door once the panel clips are disconnected from the door.
5. Reach behind the door panel and disconnect the cable that goes to the door handle. Disconnect all of the wires that go to the door for the lights, power windows, etc. Installation is the reverse of removal. If you break any clips during removal, you can source them from your Audi dealer.

How to Remove an Audi A6 Rear Bumper


1. Park the car on level ground. Engage the parking brake and disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Open the trunk and remove the corner side panel trim from the rear of the vehicle. Disconnect the wiring modules from the tail lights. Remove the assemblies from the vehicle to access the rear bumper mounting screws.
3. Remove the two screws mounting the bumper cover on each side. Disconnect the electrical module for the backup sensors (if equipped) located on the drivers side, below the tail light assembly cavity.
4. Remove the lower mounts below the rear bumper. Detach the clips from each side of the bumper.
5. Support the bumper on one side and have an assistant support the other side. Pop the bumper cover off. Be careful not to damage the clips.
