Open the door and remove the panel where the electric window control is located. You can use a flathead screwdriver, preferably covered with plastic to avoid damaging the other trims of the door.

Disconnect the connector at the back of the control and remove it as well. Next, remove the panel on the armrest; this will allow you to unscrew the hidden screws on the inner part.

Now, also remove the panel at the top next to the handle to access the bolt. Remove any screws around the panel, and then you can extract the panel, taking care of any connectors at the back.
