How to Remove a Trunk Panel on a 2002 Audi Quattro Wagon
The 2002 Audi Quattro wagon is an Avant or estate version of the A4, which is a high end Passat. Within the Volkswagen Auto Group (VAG) Audi is the mass luxury brand -- Lamborgini and Bugatti are the top tiers of luxury. THe Quattro system is Audis famed all-wheel drive system that enabled Audi to rise to the top of the luxury market after BMWs rear-wheel drive system became less popular. The trunk panel can need removal if it has become damaged or if you want to access the wiring underneath.

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.
2Unscrew 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 wont come out now, it is still held in place by pressure.
3Pry 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.
