Remove the screws located in the space on the left side of the door using a screwdriver (after removing the trim). Remove the trim on the right, unscrew the remaining screws on the door panel, and detach the retaining clips.

Finally, pull the panel off by hand and disconnect it from the door (unplug the power wiring and the opening cable). Perform the desired maintenance inside the door.

Refit the new panel or the one previously removed.
