Installation

Dismount door panel

Dismount the front door by removing the cover of the door panel.
Hint: Use plastic PRY tools to avoid marks on the panels or damaging the plastic clips.

Remove the door lock knob before removing the door panel.

Remove the electric window panel and disconnect the plug on the back side of the panel. Always use plastic PRY tools when removing panels and interior, to avoid marks on the panels and leather.

Depending on car model, the amount of screws and placement can vary. In most cases the screws used are Torx T25.

Be careful when removing the door panels and lids. Use PRY tools.

Some newer models, don’t have plastic clips to hold the door in place. Just remove the screws and gently press the door panel up. Be careful with the door lock knob. Just move the panel straight up

There are several electric and mechanical connectors on the backside of the door panel. Release the door lock cable.

Disconnect all cables for lightning, speaker cable harness and any other connections.
