To remove the door panel of the Smart 451, you need to use Torx keys to loosen the bolts that secure the triangular cover near the rear-view mirror. Once this is removed, you will need to loosen the bolts securing the mirror and remove it as well.

Next, unscrew the bolts located on the side of the door, near the locking mechanism. Then, you must remove the seal at the base of the glass to access the two screws underneath.

Once these screws are removed, you can detach the panel from the door.
