How to remove the door panel from a sprinter

We removed the door panels from our Mercedes Sprinter so that we could clean them and possibly add some insulation to them, if necessary. This was our last step in prepping the van before we started adding to it for our conversion.

To start removing the door panels from a Sprinter, you'll need to remove the storage boxes that are at the bottom of the door panels. These just open up with a quarter turn of the latch and then pull straight up on it. It will pop right off.

Remove the trim around the door latch by simply prying it up with a chisel or other prying too. Similarly, you'll pry off the trim rings that cover the two bolts on the top of the door panel as well as the trim ring that goes around the door lock. Once all of the trim is removed, there should be six bolts exposed.

The bolts are all a torx head or star bit. You can remove these with a torx key or a torx bit on your drill. They should remove easily.

Once the bolts are removed, the panel is free, but the wiring is still connected. You will need to disconnect the wiring to the power windows and power locks by unplugging the connector wires. Those are pretty straightforward.

Finally, you will need to disconnect the door latch mechanism. This mechanism can be tricky to figure out, so watch the video to make sure you understand it. The white clip pulls up and spins around to reveal the latch clip. The clip comes straight out and that disconnects the door latch.

That is all there is to removing the door panels on a Mercedes Sprinter.

The last part of this video is removing the panels on the back doors of the Sprinter. We simply broke off the plastic rivets because we didn't plan to reuse these panels. We tried removing them gently but the clips still are not reusable if done gently. The are cheap to replace, so if you are planning to reuse the panels, you should plan to order more plastic rivets. There is a link to the exact rivets used in the blog post linked at the top of this description.
