W211 Rear door panel removal?

[RNBRAD]

On a 2004 E320, I need to remove the rear door panel and thought I would check here and see if anyone can tell me where the screws/attachments are at? Thanks.

It's in various pieces.

For example, the top cap is a separate part.

It's covered in several documents in the workshop manual, now available from Mercedes for ~$60.

There's an airbag there, meaning you must disconnect your battery when messing with the door panel.

This means you need mercedes special tool help to recover from disconnected battery.

You should really want to attempt this.

I really just need to remove the top cap. Also you can disconnect the airbag as long as you don't turn the ignition key on while it is unplugged. Then you will get an airbag malfunction warning and need a reset.
