Remove the plastic cover of the handle and unscrew the two retaining screws using a Torx key. Use a spatula to remove the plastic clips of the panel and gently pull the panel upwards along the edges.

Refit the new panel, starting with the connection of the electrical cables. Position the panel upwards and then push it down until it clicks into place.

Reconnect the cables, connectors, and screws.
