Removing the Door Panel on Mercedes A-Class W169

Model: Mercedes Classe A W169 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Door trim panel

Using a small flathead screwdriver, remove the plastic screw cover located in the center armrest, then unscrew the now-exposed Torx screw. Next, remove the side clip of the door (the one accessible only with the door open). Now, removing the panel is quite simple, although it may take some time: you just need to pry with a flat screwdriver or a plastic wedge between the panel gap and the body, gradually detaching it until fully removed. Once successful, disconnect the internal cables and you're done. Goodbye!
