Removing the door panel on this car model is extremely simple: in summary, you need to remove two plugs, the trim around the central handle, and then unscrew 4 Torx screws; start by prying along the edge of the trim to detach it without damaging anything, then remove the plugs that say AIRBAG, one just below the lock and the other under the rear part of the armrest area; once you have accessed and removed the 4 screws, pry along the edge of the panel to release the retaining clips and complete the removal of the panel by disconnecting the lock cable and the connectors.
