How to disassemble the tailgate panel in the Mini Cooper?

Model: Mini Mini R53, R52, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Door trim panel

In this tutorial, we can see how to disassemble the tailgate panel in the Mini Cooper, an extremely simple and quick operation, to be carried out for example in case we need to access the windshield wiper motor. First of all, we open the tailgate, then we locate the six fixing screws and unscrew them using a simple cross-tipped screwdriver. We then lever along the perimeter of the panel using preferably a plastic spatula, separate it from the tailgate and mount any replacement following the reverse procedure.
