Video tutorial

In this short video, the panel located near the splash shield on the left side of the vehicle, a BMW 5 Series, is replaced. After opening the door, locate the panel.

It is attached to the body with three white clips (two on the sides and one in the center). To remove the panel, simply insert your fingers of both hands into the gap near the clips and pull the panel upward.

It will detach. To reposition it (or to replace it), just place it back as before and apply some pressure until the clips snap back into place.
