how to remove passenger side kick panel

The panel that is on the right side of the center console where your left leg would hit if you were in the passenger seat... I removed one screw but it is extremely tight where it gets close to the seat but I cannot seem to find anyway to loosen it up. This is the carpeted panel.

I looked but couldn't find anything on it.

Thanks,
Bryan

I think you just pull the bottom and it comes right out... It is the one toward the front of the car where the leather/plastic one is that makes the side of the center console, right?

Page 298 #9 I think is what he is talking about. It is plastic with carpet that fills in the center console to floor hump.

Ok, on the 01 there is no carpet on that piece - just leather. It just pulls off - there are 2 clips holding it on. (on the 01 anyway)

It is the large carpeted piece on the passenger side that connects the floor to the underside of the dash toward the front of the car. I would think #9 is behind it (toward the rear of the car).. meaning my piece would be closer to your left foot (as the passenger) rather than your knee. Does this help? Sorry, no pics.

Open the glove box, reach under it and follow to the floorboard... this piece that your hand was rubbing against before you hit the floor is it.

Thx,
Bryan
