In this video, you will learn how to remove the inner door panel of a Kia Rio. First, take a sharp tool like a screwdriver and remove the square plastic cap located in the opening handle: unclip it and unscrew the screw underneath. Next, remove the trim around the handle and repeat the same operation at the door's grab handle: there is another cap to remove and another screw to unscrew.

Now unscrew all the side screws of the panel and finally, use a plastic lever to gently unclip the panel and remove it!
