Removing the Front Door Panel

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

First, remove the adhesive reflector located at the top right on the outer part of the door, beneath which is a screw securing the panel; during removal, the reflector may come off and split in two: simply re-glue it. Detach the frame around the opening handle, unscrew the four screws securing the panel, and pry along the edges to release the clips. Once the panel is detached, pull it upwards to slide it out from the window seal. Reverse the process for reassembly.

What Does the "Code 60" Message Mean in the Opel Meriva?

If the "Code 60" message has appeared on the dashboard of your Opel Meriva, it means that the passenger side window is not calibrated correctly. This issue can arise, for example, after disconnecting or replacing the battery, as the control unit for the various devices will lose the stored data. To remove the warning from the dashboard, simply turn on the ignition, fully open the window, and then close it. This procedure is also valid for the driver's window if the "Code 59" message appears.
