Bummed no one responded, but in any event anyone know how many and where the screws are holding on the front passenger door?

From the pictures, it looks like there is a center screw and one on the lower rear. There might be one at the upper front but it's hard to tell. It might be a pin by the handle between the switches.

I have removed these. If you do a Google search I found removal instructions for a Q7 and A6. I needed to remove the right rear panel due to a sick kid. There are 4 screws I believe you need to remove and the rest is attached via clips. I used a trim tool at where I thought each clip point was. The clips are strong so you need a lot of pressure to pull them out so I applied pressure but went slowly as not to break any. The door panel came right off and went back on even easier.

Default Done the back doors today

There are 3 screws.

On down bellow, one in the interior handle and one behind the interior decor trim (only clips, start at the front).

There are clips on each side, and on the bottom.

There is an overhanging lip on top, so when the screws and clips are done, just lift the panel.

I recommend 2 persons to do this job, if your going to takenthe panel off the car. As you might need some help holding the panel when you undo the electonics.
