Just checking with everyone, has anyone tried to remove the front door panel? I noticed something behind the panel is making a sound or vibration noise, so I was curious on how to take it apart. I want to try and avoid breaking any clips if I can.

 

I read awhile back somebody tried to remove the door panel. you "WILL" break some clips. I think it was an envious relative that pressed the proximity sensor switch too hard that it sunk inside the door panel thread.

 

I tried to remove the rear, passenger door panel because someone pushed the door sensor through the slot. After removing all of the exposed bolts, it wouldn't budge. There are definitely clips, etc. that you'll likely break. Instead, I took it to the dealership and had them fix it. Had to wait 3 weeks for an appt but I got a free car wash so all in all...I hate the person that pushed the sensor through the door.

 

Thanks all for the quick responses. Taking it to the dealership might be the best option at this point.

 

BTW I was trying to figure out both interior door panels today on my 2020 110 X -- and found this video. Shows it all very clearly.


Hopefully helps someone down the road.

 

Simon has a video too that I used to get at the front speakers and add sound deadening.

 

This happened to me last year. I took it to the dealer and the advisor told me that my dog must have pushed the sensor down into the door and wouldn't do it under warranty. Went home and found the video that @nashvegas posted below and I was able to remove the panel. I was fortunate enough not to break any clips. The exposed bolts do not hold the panel onto the door. I bought a set of trim piece tools a few years ago and it's already paid for itself.
