Removing the Mini Cooper door panel

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

In this video tutorial we will see how to remove the front door panel of a Mini Cooper. First we open the door and we go to remove the reflector with a very thin and pointed plastic lever: underneath we will find a screw to unscrew. Remove the other screws on the door, as shown in the video. At this point we unclip the handle frame always by levering with a pointed tool and we can finally remove the door panel by levering the sides in several places and very delicately, in order to release the rear clips.
