How to remove the inner panel of the front door of the Mazda 3

Model: Mazda 3 MK 2, BL - Years 2009-2013
Part: Door trim panel

Let's see how to remove the inner panel of the front door of the Mazda 3: we start by removing the interior of the "cup" handle (the one we grab to close the door); underneath we will find a cross screw, which we will unscrew. In the handle housing, we pry under the window switch block: we disconnect the electrical connectors, unscrew the cross screw underneath, and with the help of a plastic tool, we start prying to unlock the door panel clips, and then pull towards us, gently but with some determination. Once the cover is removed, we will see two electrical connectors on the back (for the window switch and for the side mirrors). Press the unlock tab and pull them away gently. Now the panel is completely free.
