In this video, see how to remove the side panel of the door on a Porsche 911. Since the vehicle is equipped with side airbags, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent accidental deployment. First, remove the triangle located at the side of the front window, where a screw is hidden.

Next, take off the two pieces around the door handle that conceal additional screws; the innermost one is quite difficult. Another screw is hidden inside the internal door lock; this can be easily removed as it is snap-in. After removing the screw on the thickness of the trim, begin prying off the trim starting from the top. You will only need to disconnect the electrical connectors, and the job will be complete.
