How do you remove the door panel of a Renault Scenic?

Answer 1

This is for the Scenic II

Tools: two kind of * shape screwdrivers one size 20 and one size 25, one small screwdriver (something like we use for electric outlets and one big with large flat head.

There are 3 screws: one is at the botom of the panel, one is under the door opener lever (hidden under the plastic cap, you can remove it with a small sharp screwdriver), and the third is inside the window switch plastic tray also covered by a small plastic plug (at first looks like can not be remooved but it can just use the proper small, sharp screwdriver).

Removing the window switch:

Once you are done with the screws you can start to remove the switch. Start to lift it with a wide scewdriver at the end which is closer to the rear of the car as the other side has a long plastic part holding the part under the panel. It should now come out and leave it hanging on the cable for now.

Removing the door handle:

Here you should start at the end closer to the front of the car and turn it to your direction. Behind is connected with a rectangular plastic to the bowden. You can band it with the small screwdriver in the long shaped holes and it will come off so the bowden cable will stay inside the door and you can completely remove the handle.

Now you arrived to the hardest part. First remove the upper part of the panel. I started at the left upper corner. It has several plastic nails and it takes a lot of power to take it out. One by one it will come off but not easy. I tought I broke it but it came off ater all in one piece. There will be one more screw to take out (size 20) right the one behind the window switch.

The lower part of the panel just has to be lifted and it is held by some kind of `claws`. So just lift it and it will all come out.

Good luck!
