Removal and Maintenance of Door Tools

Model: Subaru Forester SF, MK 1 - Years 1997-2002
Part: Door trim panel

Using a flathead screwdriver, remove the triangular cover located at the mirror point, the speaker cover near the handle, the cap covering the screw in the handle space, and the panel for the window controls by disconnecting the connectors. On the side of the door, there is a clip that simply pulls away, and now you can start removing all the screws that secure the door. Now, take the panel, pull it, and you will have the bare door to perform the necessary work. Once done, you can reattach the panel.
