How do you disassemble the door panels in a Fiat Punto 188?

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Car door

So to disassemble the door panels on cars like these, it takes a bit of patience but it's not impossible. Lower the window and disconnect the battery for safety. Then unscrew the screws because there are many, under the handle, near the door pocket, and behind the mirror control. Use a plastic lever or a screwdriver wrapped in a cloth to avoid scratching and lever along the edge to release the pressure fasteners. Once the panel comes off, disconnect the cables for the window control and the handle. To reassemble it, do everything in reverse, but if you don't feel confident in DIY mode, contact a specialized mechanic.
