Dave, I think it should be manditory that prior to anyone being alowed to post an instructional video to youtube they need to watch yours!!! Thank you for taking the time to explain everything so perfectly!!
I think you have made my day sir!!! The door latch replacement came to a screeching halt when we could not actually remove the latch assembly because “something” was holding it. Our first thought was the key lock piece that attaches to the latch mechanism, but I now see the small cable sandwiched between the key lock and the door handle. Looks like we have the disassembly figured, the reassembly looks like “fun” too. BTW the door is still on the car!
It will just pop out once you remove the door lock. The door lock is pressing the end of the release cable into the hook on the end of the handle. There is a section of the video where I show the door handle, the cable and the lock and how they fit together.
My car is a 2005 so perhaps they changed it from rivets to screws. You do need to drill out the rivets in the top front which connect to the lock mechanism.
Fantastic video, heaps of information, one question, at the end, did you drill the rivets holding the door lock/latch mechanism before removing the window frame? And if so, did you just rivet, or nut rivet, the latch mechanism back? Or are you able to get it out as one piece not removing any pop rivet. Other videos shows drilling the rivets and then upon assembly putting in nut-rivets so you can just bolt it it where the rivets used to be
You will need to drill out those rivets before removing the window channel. Only with the window channel removed can you remove the door lock mechanism. I did put in new rivets upon reassembly.

Very helpful. Your video should help me ave a few clips when I remove the outer trim and now I’m confident I can pull the doors to paint.
Thank you very, very much 🙏 you have talent in explaining 👌
extremely helpful in dealing with my Touareg
Ok that's cool. But what about the cable thats connected on the door handle, how do you take it off?

My black inner door skin is riveted its an 04 s model I guess they need drilled out?

No talk of the actual door module?
