How to Remove a Trunk Panel on a 2002 Audi Quattro Wagon

1. Park your 2002 Audi Quattro wagon somewhere with room around the rear of the car. Make sure the emergency brake is on before you turn the engine off and pull the trunk release latch. Get out of the car and empty out the rear of the car so you have room to work in.
2. Unscrew the eight Philips head screws that secure the bottom of the trunk panel to the rear hatch. Make sure to keep the screws as replacement Audi parts are a lot more expensive then most other car manufacturers, even though they are just regular Volkswagen parts in most cases. Unscrew the four Philips head screws on the top part of the panel. The panel won't come out now, it is still held in place by pressure.
3. Pry the panel off the rear hatch with a flathead screwdriver. Push the flathead into the seam and work it along the seam line. Once the panel is standing out all along the edge, then pull the panel off by hand. Place the panel somewhere safe as it can be broken if stepped on. If you are replacing the panel then just follow the removal procedure in reverse.
