How to remove the rear panels of a Smart 451.

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Body

In this video, we see how to remove the rear panels of a Smart 451: the first thing to do is to remove the screws that hold the lower panel in place. There is a screw near the rear wheel. We unscrew it and lift the panel, which reveals two torx screws: then we unscrew the ones visible on the back. The panels are interlocked, so once unscrewed from the back, we can lift them. However, we have the problem of the fuel cap and the headlights. We start with the trunk lid, unscrewing all the screws we find and disconnecting all the connectors present. We must do the same by moving the body away from the fuel cap. There, we have the solenoid, so we must disconnect it, then we must disconnect all the connections of the rear lights. If we have any doubts, we take photos to make sure we reattach everything in the right place. This way, we have free access to the rear parts of the car (the YouTuber has to work on the lambda probe).
