To remove the door panel of the Mercedes SL, loosen all the screws that secure it to its housing: start with the one located at the top left of the panel, then proceed with the ones positioned in the lower center. Once these screws are removed, pry to detach the clips underneath that hold the panel in place; now disconnect the connectors below that are connected to the window regulator and the rearview mirror.
