if you have all the screws out just pull it, it should have clips that holds on to it

its a plastic cover that u pop out with a flathead from the bottom left side i think, maybe bottom right...u will see a little slit there. then, the bolt is underneath it. it is quite large and hard to loosen, as it is torqued down from the factory with lock-tite. once you break it loose, i suggest you re-loc-tite .

Are you talking about the panel that goes around the little window on each side? If so, you will have to take off some stuff here. Its a little pain, but no big deal. You must take off the drivers seat belt bolt, and the rear seat belt bolt towards the rear of the panel. On the drivers bolt, it is coverd by a plastic piece, its divided into 2 interlocking pieces, just pry it apart and you will see one 17 mm bolt.Take that off and the seatbelt will come off. Fold down your rear seat back, and there is one screw on each side of the lower panel, right infront of the rear shock tower, take this out on each side.Pry off the other plastic seatbelt cover, and take off the rear seatbelt. Now pull away far enough to reveal 3 more screws underneath that piece. These 3 screws are part of that upper piece you are trying to get out. Take those out, and the rest is clipped in. The panel is kinda a bitch to get out, its clipped in by the other plastick trim pieces also, you will see when you get at it. Be very careful when reinstalling that piece, its VERY easy to scratch the paint right off of it. Again, you will see what i mean. Oh yeah, you must pull outward the big lower plastic piece to reveal thoes hidden 3 screws. Its the piece that covers your rear speaker. Good luck
