How do you remove the door panel of the Smart 451?

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Door trim panel

The removal of the door panel of the Smart 451 is done by first detaching the outer panel of the door: this way it will be possible to have access to the clips that secure the panel from the outside. These clips will need to be loosened in order to detach the lower part of the inner panel; it will now be possible to proceed by levering with an object and removing the handrail molding, so that the underlying screws can be loosened. After removing these screws, the panel can be detached so that it can be replaced with a new replacement piece.
