How do you remove the door panel of the Mini?

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

The procedure for removing the door panel on the Mini involves removing the cover that surrounds the speaker and the internal door handle; in addition, the circular panel on the right side of the panel will also need to be removed. Under these covers, there will be four screws that will need to be loosened: this will allow the panel to be detached from the door, also disconnecting the connectors underneath it. Once the old panel has been removed, it will be possible to insert a new one, connecting the connectors and securing it properly.
