Are you reffering to the interior doorcard?
If so then there are a few screws, there are 2 at the bottom running parallel to the bottom of the door, one around the corner by the side mirror, and the 2 behind the handle once you remove the handle cover.
Then pull really hard, there are just clips holding the card in place after that.

There are three lower screws on a 3 door

Take a look at this thread http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=82260 (http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=82260), its for a 5 door, but shows where the screws are located
