How to Replace the Chrome Door Panels

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Body

Sometimes, even components deemed "non-essential" in a vehicle can break or become unsuitable for their intended purpose for any reason. Some people also work on their cars for tuning, modifying them in the process, but that is not what we are discussing now. In this guide, you will learn how to replace the chrome door panels on both sides: another simple and quick job. First, you need to remove the inner plastic panel of the vehicle so you can proceed to the next step: loosen the plastic clip by hand without necessarily removing it, on the left or right depending on which side you are working on. Then, preferably using the handle of a screwdriver, tap the first two clips to detach the first part of the panel; now, gently push up by hand to completely remove it. Done!
