The video covers the replacement of the left front lock on a Smart Fortwo (W450) produced from 1998 to 2007. Tools needed: cross screwdriver, pliers, small plastic lever. There are three cross screws on the door panel; remove them.

At this point, simply use the plastic lever to remove the handle. Now, disassemble the complete lock with the cable.

Insert the complete handle into the door, performing the previous steps in reverse order, paying particular attention to repositioning the plastic cover, which may have become brittle over the years. After reassembly, repeatedly test the correct functioning of the system by manually opening the door several times and, if necessary, repeat the test with the remote locking.
