How to remove the door panel on a BMW 7 Series

Method 1: For the front doors, there are torque screws under the plungers that need to be removed. After they’ve been unscrewed, the panel should pop off. 

Method 2: For the back doors, you have to dig in with your fingertips to pop off the two-piece weather stripping at the top of the panel. Once it pops off, you can pull the panel back a bit. It’s not totally necessary to remove the back door panels on these models if you want to tint them. Tinting with the panels on is usually easy enough.
