Removing the door panel on Mini

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

Let's see the disassembly of the door panel (passenger side) of a Mini. To begin, we pry around the door opening handle frame, then, we remove the same on the door panel (inside handle). Immediately afterwards, unscrew the screws on the door panel with a screwdriver. We pry into the door opening frame, detach it from the door again with a plastic lever. Disconnect any power cables. As soon as the panel is free from the screws, let's pull it away from the car door with our hands. We disconnect the power supply terminals.
