Volkswagen Tiguan rear tailgate trim plastic trim removing plastic trim clips around tailgate 

Thank you. The slot on the inside center of the hatch let me manually open the non functional latch. I yanked the plastic and got my hatch latch/motor removed without wrecking any parts. It takes some force to remove it. That was a great video!! You are the real deal!!

I changed the boot lock on my 2020 Tiguan last week. I removed the torx screws and just unclipped the panel at the bottom around the lock without removing it completely, there is no need to remove the side trims or the top one. You can then bend it enough to use a ring spanner to remove and refit the lock. It took about 20 minutes.

CHEERS YOU BLOODY LEGEND !! I used the hooked end of the trim removal tool, gave a big yank and it popped off. Sweet as.

Removing the plastic on Tiguan is a hard work.

Thanks mate, this was very useful! Cheers

Hey, can the electronoc switch be removed when not taking off then panel and going through via removing the lock?

This video help me mate. Thanks

Hey buddy you mentioned that I don't have to remove everything to get to that lock. Do you have a video showing that? Wife's Tiguan apparently got water in the tailgate and now the lock does not work. I need to replace it, just want to do it right.

Do you have a video on how to replace the latch without removing the plastic part?
