Remove the panel longitudinally at the handle located in the middle of the armrest to access the screws that need to be undone to begin unlocking the panel. Next, remove the cover behind the opening handle to access the screw located at its back.

Now, unscrew all the screws around the door panel. After removing all the screws, gently pry around the panel and pull it outwards.

Disconnect the connectors at the back and carry out the necessary replacements.
