Rear Door Assembly Overview





Construction of the Touareg door differs considerably from that of other models.

Entire door consists of outer door panel - 1 -, assembly carrier - 5 - and window frame - 10 -. When assembly carrier and window frame are joined together, it is referred to as a subframe.

Assembly carrier and window frame cannot be completed individually. Only when they are combined to form the subframe can individual parts be installed.
