Door latch replacement instructions?

Hello everyone,

This is my first post ever on a forum. Do you have step by step instructions (ideally with pictures) for replacing the rear door latch assembly on a MK6?

Here is the part: https://parts.vw.com/p/Volkswagen__/Door-Latch-Assembly-Door-Lock-Actuator-Motor-Lock-LOCK-ACTUATOR-Rear-Left/48365807/5K4839015N.html

My failed attempts so far:

1) Pulling the inner door panel off to find the crossmember stop (#8) that attaches the window regulator module (#6) per https://parts.vw.com/a/Volkswagen_2013_GTI-Base-AT/_51505_5987589/GLASS--HARDWARE-REAR-DOOR/9281575.html and not knowing how to proceed further without risking breaking the glass.

2) Thinking I can remove the outer door panel like a MK5 per https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwLEefcJQp8&t=1s&index=6&list=PLPBuPJNyTlVYhLi--S2WUl7li6cAgv10s only to realize that I can't find an end panel

3) Searching through a very unfriendly website to realize it's straight up broken: http://workshop-manuals.com/volkswagen/golf-mk6/body/general_body_repairs_exterior/rear_doorsliding_doorwing_doorscentral_locking/door_components/removing_and_installing_door_lock/removing/

4) Using MK5 official workshop manuals, specifically g5_64-03.pdf - Rear door window here: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1797.0

5) Searching this forum every way possible. Maybe I missed something that one of you kind people can point me to?
