First, lower the window fully. Now, remove the armrest cover by pushing it upwards with your thumbs.

This will reveal the first two screws marked with yellow circles. The next screw is located behind the handle, making it easy to remove the cover.

Next, take out the bolts around the panel fixed to the door. Use a plastic lever to lift the panel after removing the window switch and disconnecting the connectors at the back.

For reassembly, follow the steps in reverse.
