2. Make sure that the panel to be removed is not covered by any other trim element. Usually, the procedure for dismantling the panels is quite obvious and can be easily determined during an external examination of the cabin.
3. Release all visible fasteners (like screws). If, after releasing the fasteners, the panel cannot be removed, then there are still hidden latches. The latches are usually located along the edges of the panel and are released automatically when prying them off. It should be remembered that the plastic clips break easily when dismantling the panels and must be replaced during assembly. For releasing the latches in the absence of a special tool, a flat-blade screwdriver is best. We also note that in many cases the sealing strip of the adjacent doorway must be separated from the panel to be removed.
4. Never attempt to remove a non-removable panel by force. Always make sure that all fasteners are released first.
5. Installation is carried out in the reverse order. Make sure that the panel is securely fixed with all the provided screws and clamps.

Ceiling upholstery
1. The headlining is attached to the roof of the vehicle by means of clips and can only be removed after removing such items as the upper handrails, sun visors, sunroof assembly, windshield, rear vents, and trim panels mating with it.
