Start by removing the plastic protection near the door handle using a thin but sturdy tool. Repeat this procedure for the protection of the handle itself and for the protection behind the opening handle.

Once you have finished removing these protections, you will reveal some screws, which you need to unscrew and remove using a Torx T20. Once all the screws are removed, you need to take off the window winder by pulling it away from the panel by two millimetres, then remove the clip that secures it. Once done, you can take it off. At this point, using the same tool you used to remove the protections, pry along the perimeter of the panel to release the rear clips that hold it in place.

Once all the clips are released, you will be able to remove the panel, successfully completing the disassembly.
