remove the trim (doorcard) or just loosen the front half -top side and bottom
possibly inner handle also
with qtr w open remove the rubber seal from the top past the s/steel hinge
u will find this hinge is held in by 2 phillips screws...remove same.....

u will find some 10mm nuts below the pivoting shaft area behind the door card....loosen these to free the post from the clamp ....oil it first and lever it upwards

bear in mind u r handling glass!

want any vw bits old but like me, Made in Germany!!!

It is quite easy, but keep in mind, you are handling glass.
