First, as with any maintenance operation on a car, position your Smart on a ramp or flat surface. This precaution is necessary for safety and stability while working.

Next, use the appropriate Torx key to loosen the screws securing the handle and pocket on the panel you need to remove. Now, proceed to remove the panel by gently prying along its perimeter with a screwdriver to release the clips holding it in place.

That's it! To reassemble or fit a new panel, reverse the steps just described.
