After obtaining a plastic wedge, remove the plastic covering the lock button from the door, as shown in the video. Similarly, remove the switch panel next to the handle, the cover behind the window switch buttons, and the small side plastic piece.

At this point, you will notice screws underneath all these plastics you have removed that secure the panel to the door. Two more bolts are located under the panel itself.

Once all are removed, you can take off the panel by pulling it gently and disconnecting the connectors during extraction.
