To remove the inner panel of the Smart 450, you will need a Torx T20 key, as there are 6 Torx screws to remove. After that, the inner part of the panel will come away.

Start by removing the glove compartment. Pull away the inner panel, which is clipped in place: you need to release the lower part first and then pull the entire panel towards the steering wheel to disengage it without damaging it. This way, the central panel has been removed, and the inner part of the door is now accessible for any work you deem necessary to carry out inside.
