Part: Door trim panel

Here’s how to remove the rear panel and associated parts on a Toyota Rav 4. Disconnect the battery terminals before removing the door panel. Remove the cover of the internal handle: unscrew the screws inside it. Take out the switch panel from inside the handle, unscrew the remaining screws on the door panel, and detach the securing clips. Pull the panel away by hand and disconnect it from the door (unplug the power wiring and the opening cable). Carry out the desired maintenance inside the door.
