To remove the inner door panel of the Smart 450, detach the triangular cover near the external mirror. Once removed, unscrew the underlying screws and remove the mirror; then, unscrew the screw at the external door handle and remove it as well.

This will allow you to detach the outer door panel and access the actuator underneath. Next, by unscrewing the appropriate screws on the internal door skeleton and the remaining screws in the inner panel, you can detach the latter and replace it with a new spare part.
