In this tutorial, you will learn how to remove the front door panel of a Mini Cooper. First, open the door and remove the reflector using a very thin and pointed plastic lever: underneath, you will find a screw to undo.

Remove the other screws present on the door, as shown in the video. At this point, detach the handle trim by prising with a sharp tool, and you can finally remove the door panel by prising from the sides in multiple points and with great care, to release the rear clips.
