If you intend to remove the inner door panel, you are in the right place; we will do it step by step. Park the vehicle where it won't disturb anyone and engage the handbrake.

Using a lever, detach the plastic cover of the inner handle. Unscrew the two screws located inside.

Now move to the bottom of the storage pocket and remove the other two screws. Finally, you can detach the panel from the door.

Start from one edge and continue along its line. Keep supporting it while you disconnect the three connectors.

To reassemble, follow the reverse procedure.
