Default Driver side lower panel removal

How do you remove the kick panal?

Looks like you have to remove the sill plate, but I do not see how to remove the plate.

Remove the furflex, just prise out the small part of the panel from the tread plate and slide the panel straight towards you, takes minutes, seconds even

If I had it to do today I would remove the seats front and rear along with the console then I would lift the carpet at the rear hump and cut it in half to separate the left from the right. Be sure to lift it or you will cut hoses and wire. You will be able to peal the carpets back and out of the way for repair. When you are done join the two ends and support them above the hump and wiring harness and hyd hoses and use carpet tape under the carpet. When using carpet tape you will need to use an iron to make the glue to melt and stick that is why you support that area above the wire and hoses. Finish the install and you are done. I have not done this but made several repairs to carpet and it worked well.
