How to remove the door panel on Mini

Model: Mini Mini R55, R57, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Door trim panel

Let's see how to remove the door panel (passenger side) of a Mini. To begin, we pry around the door opening handle frame with a spatula and remove the cover (matching) of the handle. Immediately after, we unscrew the screws placed in the handle with a screwdriver; disconnect the light at the bottom of the door and with a plastic or metal lever disconnect any power cables and tightening clips (placed around the perimeter). As soon as the panel is free from any clips, let's detach it from the car door (trim frame).
