Removing the door panel of a Subaru Forester

Model: Subaru Forester SG, MK 2 - Years 2002-2008
Part: Door trim panel

How to remove the door panel on a Subaru Forester? Don't worry, let's see how to proceed. Before starting the disassembly work, let's disconnect the battery terminals in the engine compartment. Let's start the disassembly, remove the window control panel with a lever (unscrew the screws inside the handle), then, with a screwdriver, unscrew the fastening screws placed on the plastic panel. Once all the screws have been removed, with the lever we remove all the plastic clips that block the door. We detach the door panel with our hands, unhook any power supply terminals and release cable. We carry out the necessary maintenance or replace the panel.
