How to Remove the Door Panel from a Mazda 3?

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

To replace the door panel on a Mazda 3, use a tool like a screwdriver to pry off the trim around the internal handle, along the armrest, and near the wing mirror. After these trims are removed, loosen the corresponding screws underneath; then, slide out the window switch panel, disconnecting its connectors. Once all these fastening elements are removed, you can detach the panel and replace it with a new one.
