A4 2004 how to remove the front Door panel

[kjc1]

Does anyone know how to remove the Driver side front door panel
on a A4 2004 TDI. I do not know what has happened, but there is a horrid
vibration noise coming from within. It's Like a loose washer vibrating ...
Any help really appreciated...
THANKS....

Firstly there is a screw underneath - you have to remove this,

then the tweeter speaker cover needs to be removed and the screws under this undone.

lift out the switches for the windows (screw driver under boot end and carefully lift). undo the screw under this

remove the wooden trim at the top of the door (pull gently from the "rear of car" end). Undo the screws under this

pull from bottom moving around edges to eisengage clips, there are several!!

lift panel up to disengage

I would suggest you get a copy of ELSAWIN off ebay as that has the diagrams etc.

Let me know if you need any more info,

Walter.

Sorry, I have to disagree with wmccann - but not entirely!
1) Remove screw from the bottom of the panel in the centre (as already described).
2) Prise out cover from just below the armrest and remove the two screws
3) Remove trim from above the door release handle that runs the length of the door by pulling from the front edge and sliding the trim forward.
4) Remove the 4 screws from behind the trim just removed in step 3.
5) Prise the panel away from the door and lift panel up once clips are disengaged (as previously described).

No need to remove tweeter grille or window switches.

Apologies, what I put was for the A4 Cabriolet,

If you don't mind me asking... how long did it take you? I've got an annoying rattle in the front passenger door that I'd like to sort out...
