How to remove the front door panel of the Porsche Macan MK1.

Model: Porsche Macan MK 1 - Years 2013-2024
Part: Door trim panel

Let's see how to remove the inner panel of a Porsche Macan door: insert a plastic lever at the end near the handle and pry it to release a series of clips. Once free, slide the panel towards the rear of the door to remove it. Slightly open the inner handle by inserting the lever to unlock the panel behind it: it has two front hooks and a rear clip that need to be removed to reveal a Torx T25 screw. Now we can remove three more T25 screws: the screw behind the handle cover that has just been removed, the screw located at the other end of the panel, and the one behind the courtesy light on the lower edge of the door; here, to access it, you need to unlock the light from above with a plastic lever and disconnect the electrical connector. After removing all three screws, the panel is only held by pressure clips; lift it vertically to disengage it from the edge of the door, and pull it away from the door. Be very careful with the connectors: the large one for the module and the Bowden cables for the inner handle. Place it on a protected surface with the inner side facing down.
