How to Remove the Door Panel of a Mercedes CLK 200

Model: Mercedes Clk A208, W208, C208 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Door trim panel

Start the operation of removing the door panel of the Mercedes CLK by removing the small cover located halfway up, slightly to the left (as shown in the video), using a small plastic pry tool. Now, unscrew the three screws found on the side of the door, near the hinge, with an appropriate screwdriver, and remove the plate. Unscrew the screw near the lock and remove it. Unscrew the screw corresponding to the airbag in the cover previously removed. To unscrew the screws on the handle, first remove the cover by pulling it upwards and extracting it, then unscrew the screws. Finally, use the plastic pry tool to unclip the panel along the perimeter, starting from the side near the lock to the hinge area, passing through the bottom. At this point, pull the panel outwards and simultaneously upwards. Disconnect the cable for the lock opening via the internal handle and you’re done!
