How to Remove the Front Door Panel of an Alfa 147

Model: Alfa Romeo 147 MK 1 - Years 2000-2010
Part: Car door

To remove the front door panel of an Alfa 147, start by unscrewing the screw located behind the door opening mechanism. To find the screw, remove the small plastic cover using a screwdriver. Remove the entire piece, being careful of the wires connected to the opening button. Once done, unscrew the screws located in the handle and the armrest. These can be found at the top of the handle, under the armrest (which holds the electric button block) and inside the hole left by it. Finally, unscrew the last screws located at the bottom, near the puddle light, and moving to the right along the panel's perimeter. At this point, unlock the clips using a small plastic pry tool found on the right and left sides of the panel. Pull the panel outwards and upwards, and remove the button while being careful to disconnect the power supply for the puddle light. To reassemble, simply reverse the steps taken.
