How to remove the door panel of a Seat Altea

Model: Seat Altea MK 1 - Years 2004-2015
Part: Door trim panel

Let's see how to remove the door panel of a Seat Altea: in this case, we are talking about the rear door, and we start by prying off the speaker cover, which is held only by clips; with the same system we remove the handle cover, from which we can then remove two holding screws; with the help of a screwdriver (but we recommend a plastic spatula to avoid damaging the parts) we pry around the door upholstery to remove it from its housing: we will have thus made space to detach the internal handle from its mechanism. We also remove the electrical connector and the panel is completely removed. Now let's focus on the front door: we always start with the speaker cover, then the handle cover and remove the fixing screws from it. We will follow exactly the same procedure, prying all around the panel frame, which in this case does not include the internal lock, but the window regulator from which we will have to disconnect the electrical plug. The video continues by removing all the other coverings on the four doors.
