If you buy a new skin from vw/tps you will also need the brackets for the skin and bond them on which is a nightmare of a job!!!
Where are you located?

Also if you did get the skin off they say you still won't be able to get in as its deadlocked but you can always start ripping the lock apart to remove the deadlock and get in

Well I wouldn't buy a new one as there are loads on eBay for about 50 quid with the rest of a blank door.
I know a few painters so that's not a problem either.
And my thinking was exactly the same as yours. If I peel the outer skin off I'll have access to everything so should obviously be able to unlock the car
And I'm located in Essex.

Ah that's fair enough mate. Yeah I'm pretty sure you will be able to unlock it if you pull the lock apart.

Oh that's a shame I live in reading berkshire and was going to say if you was this way we could meet up and I would help you out with it  :smiley:

Have you tried sitting in driver seat pressing the unlock button on drivers door at same time opening the passenger door via inside lever ( you may need to stretch a little or get somoene on passenger side. Keep trying a few times and timing the presses on the door unlock button with the lever on passenger door. My old mk5 TDI did same and this worked to unlock the door then quick getting it to mechanic.

I have a way to get the door open from the outside.  Not something I'm willing to tell people how to do as you could then break into any Golf MK5 this way.

I've tried everything regarding locks, keys, pulling handles etc and none of it works. It's deadlocked and won't budge.
And yet another helpful person who knows how to do it but beats around the bush, if you know and want the business just say so.
Bedford ain't exactly local but I'll meet you halfway and you can do it. Tell me the cost and if your that confident I'll pay it. But if you don't manage it you will lose out on some fuel and time.

I'm not willing to give out info on how to break into a MK5 from the outside.

Before i knew how to do it from the outside, I used to remove the door card from the inside, where you can pop the grommet for the internal cable, use a long screwdriver and hammer the release. You tend to just break one mount on the door card which can be glued back.

Hardly beating around the bush. Being the owner of the forum I can't let everyone know how to get into any Golf without a key.

I wouldn't expect you to give the information out, hence why I said I'd gladly pay you to do it.
But there's not much point in saying you can do it without explaining you own the forum and run a garage etc. so to me it was beating round the bush.

No worries.

There are two ways I should be able to open the door. If I fail, then no charge. If I succeed then you pay me for the time it takes me to get it open?

You can supply a new lock, or I can supply and fit for you if you wish?
