By following these short steps, you will see how to remove the front door panel of a Smart Fortwo. First, open the front door and start by removing the plastic cover of the opening handle, prying it off from the sides; then unscrew the fastening screws found underneath and on the sides of the panel until you can detach and completely remove it (disconnecting the handle cable), as shown in the video.

At this point, you will have access to the inside of the door, as well as the window mechanism and the lock, finally reassembling the panel!
