Removing the Rear Door Panel

Model: Mini Mini R56, R55, R57 - 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.
