Interior panel removal!

[MAD02]

Does anyone know how to remove the interior panels on either side of the rear seats? I need to remove my lower beltline trim and need to get to the nuts. Thanks!

pull the seat out then pull the bottoms out and lift the panels straight up...they're tight so some force is necessary

Thanks, Esty.

Aren't some of them clipped in? I'm pretty sure the door cards in my '76 are clipped in, but on my '72 they were not.

Not sure if either one was fooled around with by the previous owner or not, tough.

Some of the early models (I have a '71) have a small screw/grommet at the bottom edge of the panel near the floor. This is the same type of screw that the front carpet has for the tab that covers the outer seat bolts.
