PSS10 Install... Rear Strut top access? Does the panel just pull off?

Finally got off my butt as the H&R sways came from Vivid, and I'm replacing the bad front strut mount too.
What I thought would be easy, left me scratching my head...
I removed the two speaker port cover to the Bose box, and the two torx bits that hold it in. Removed box.
The panel covering the 3 strut mount nuts... how does that come off?
The Renntec site had some pics, but said the cover lifts off with no clips. I dont think so.

The rear carpet cover has these weird oval cuts in the carpet. The Oval carpet covers don't come off though and I don't think are pertinant.
MikeKelly? Anyone? I don't want to bust any clips. I've been patient this long....
Any help cheerfully accepted.

just pull on it, it is directly behind the seat, not where the child seat hooks are.

There is no clip or anything, it is just squeezed there.

Child Safety seat hooks? Is that what those weird carpet ovals are? guess I should RTFM, but I'm not looking for them, so how would I know?
Any good pics from anyone? I'm really not that stupid, just not familiar with this panel. I think I'm trying to remove the wrong one.....

Duh. Figured it out. I thought the whole panel came off, not just the "chunk".
Here's some pics for the next guy who's wondering....

also, my PSS10 didn't look like that, i didn't have a top plate, i had to reuse the stock one. Was that a special option you ordered?

Yes, those are Mode Camber plates and Mode spring mounts from Vivid. I have a bad rf oem strut mount, so time was right...
