How to Remove the Door Panel on a Fiat 500

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Door trim panel

Open the door and observe that there are two caps on the side of the panel. Remove them using a lever tool. Now, remove the knob located on the handle by inserting a thin file to release the clips at the back. Next, remove the panel from the small storage compartment on the armrest. You can now start removing all the bolts in the areas exposed by the caps and panels. Now, simply lift the panel from the bottom, and once detached, be careful to disconnect all cables and connectors attached.
