Removing the Rear Door Panel

Model: Mini Mini R57, R55, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Door trim panel

I will explain how to remove the rear door panel of your car. First, gather a set of plastic trim tools and Torx keys. It may seem like a complex procedure, but it is not; a bit of manual skill and you're done. Open the rear hatch and with a Torx key, start unscrewing all the screws present. Then, keep the screws safe to avoid losing them. Next, use a trim tool to detach all the clips at each corner of the panel, being careful not to break them. After detaching all the clips, you can remove the panel and carry out any necessary operations. Once finished, reassemble everything by aligning the panel with all the clips and securing it with the previously removed screws.

How to Remove the Grille on a Ford Ranger

In this video, learn how to remove the grille located on the front bumper of a Ford Ranger. Prepare to take off the plastic grille: use a socket spanner to unscrew the fasteners securing the grille (located on the inside of the bumper). With a plastic lever, pry between the grille and the bumper until it disengages from its housing. Once the grille is free, remove it from the bumper and fit a new one. Refit the grille onto the car's bumper by pressing it into place and screw the fasteners back in. Check that all parts are correctly mounted.
