Removing Interior Door Panels?

AWe90 · 06-26-2013, 09:48 AM

How do you remove the interior door panels? I have an annoying rattle coming from the passenger side door every time I drive over a bump in the road. I want to open up the door to see what I can find in there.

Thanks....

You pull out by hand the trim on the armrest, start from door hinges side. When you take it off, under you will find three (or four don't remember) screws, unscrew it. Then you can pull the door panel, start from the door lock side on the bottom. The clips are single use, you will need to replace them, at least thats prescribed by BMW, but nothing keeps you from reusing it. Assembling everything back just in reverse order.
