vw Slam lock removal sliding + barn door.

The t5.1 van I purchased came installed with slam locks - very annoying if you intend to use the van as a camper. worse still the barn door and sliding door had different keys!
I spoke to the original makers of the locks and a vehicle locksmith but both were of no use. However I did find bits of useful information from different websites and a few threads.
I thought I would compile it into one thread in case someone needs to do the same in the future.

Nice find, I could have done with this when removing mine, which were on both sliders and the tailgate.
By far the worst was removing the handle stop!

Thanks for the reply, I read this post couldn't make much sense on the removing element of these locks sorry
 
Just realised the information given above is for a T5, I have aT6.1 totally different mechanisms. Appreciate any help from this forum as I have been unable to find any information on the Web.
Many thanks
Ian
