Using a plastic lever (not metal) or a small flathead screwdriver, detach the cover of the grey plastic handle. Unscrew the Torx screw located under the handle.

Now remove the plastic cover behind the opening handle and unscrew the Torx screw underneath. With the same wedge or screwdriver, remove the window switch buttons and disconnect their connector.

At this point, after removing the buttons, you can unscrew another Torx screw behind the grey handle. Use the lever to detach the speaker cover and finally you can remove the panel by disconnecting the various connections.
