Let's see how to remove the right door panel on a Smart Fortwo. Before starting the disassembly, disconnect the battery terminals.

Using a lever or screwdriver, pry at the handle on the door panel, detach it, and disconnect the terminals of the window switch. Use a fixed screwdriver to unscrew the screws on the panel, and with a plastic lever, unclip all the clips around the perimeter of the door (remove the cover at the corner of the window).

Pull off the panel, disconnect the opening lever cable, the window lift terminals, and the speakers. Finally, remove the outer panel by gripping it with your hands.
