How do I remove the outer door panel of the Smart Forfour?

Model: Smart Smart 454, Fourfour1 - Years 2004-2006
Part: Door trim panel

In order to remove the outer door panel of the Smart Forfour, the side trim of the outer door handle must be removed. In this way it will be possible to unscrew the side screw of the door mechanism, so that the actuator is removed by disconnecting the connector. Now you will have to remove the triangular panel in correspondence with the external rearview mirror, so that the screws that fix it can be unscrewed. Once the mirror has therefore been removed, unscrew the last screws that secure the outer panel in its upper part: finally, the panel can be detached from the door, replacing it with a new one.

How to Replace the Rear Light and Bulbs on a Ford Focus Year 2000

To replace the rear light and bulbs on a Ford Focus 2000/2004, first, open the tailgate of the boot. This gives access to the screw that holds the rear light in place. The screw to undo (using an appropriate screwdriver) is located inside the light and corresponds to the fold that accommodates the tailgate (as shown in the images). Once you start to undo it, continue with the operation and then remove the nut from the inside of the bodywork. At this point, you can remove the light, being careful to disconnect the electrical supply by unplugging the connectors or removing the entire bulb holder from its housing. This way, you can replace the bulbs. To reassemble everything, simply follow the described operations in reverse order.
