How do you replace the door lock of the Smart car?

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Door lock

In order to replace the door lock of the Smart car, you need to open the door itself so that you can locate the screws located on the inner side of the door: these screws must be loosened so that the external handle and internal lock can be completely removed. The lock must be disconnected from the corresponding connector so that it can be replaced with a new spare part; the new lock can then be connected to its connector, inserted into the door, and secured with the appropriate screws.
