The method to remove the right door panel of the Lavida is: 1. Remove the screws at the bottom of the door; 2. Use a screwdriver to pry open from the bottom of the door, then pull outward and lift upward. The Lavida is a compact car. Taking the 2021 Lavida as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, wheelbase 2688mm, fuel tank capacity 51L, and trunk capacity 510L. The 2021 Lavida is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I just removed the right door panel of my Lavida, it was pretty straightforward. First, prepare the tools: a Phillips screwdriver and a plastic pry bar—avoid metal tools to prevent scratching the interior. There's a small cover on the door handle; pry it open to reveal the screw, then remove it. Next, there are clips at the bottom and sides of the panel; use the pry bar to gently release them one by one until you hear a click—don’t yank hard. Then, carefully disconnect the wiring harness for the window control switch by pressing the clip lightly. Once removed, you can access the internal components, making it easy to repair the window regulator or replace the speaker. For reinstallation, reverse the steps, align the clips, and press them gently into place. The whole process took me about half an hour—just be patient and avoid rushing to prevent damaging the panel and unnecessary repair costs.

Removing the right door panel of the Lavida is not complicated but requires attention to detail. Just prepare a plastic pry tool and a screwdriver. First, locate the screw positions: there's a hidden cover inside the handle—pry it off and unscrew. About 10 clips are distributed around the door edges; pry them loose one by one without using excessive force. The electrical connector is on the inner side of the panel—unlock it with a fingernail or tool before disconnecting. After removal, you can clean the motor or add soundproofing material for comfort. Notes: Empty pockets of small items before starting to avoid dropping them into gaps; if clips break, buy new ones at an auto parts store for a few bucks—don’t cut corners. The entire process can be summarized in 150 words covering the essentials.
