Stuck! Dag Nabit!
I am so close to getting my black interior in... just gotta get the
rest of the almond out (gross)
I am stuck in a few places here and was hoping to get some help.
This piece (kick panel?). It came off the driver's side fine, but now I am stuck.
And both sides of the seatbelts are givin me grief
-Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
So far I have just about everything out, console, seats, all rear plastic panels.
Anything else that might hang me up when removing the carpet?

as for your kick panel goes there maybe a screw under the carpet if not just make a u shape pull and it should come right out
now on to your seatbelts this thing i circled is a cover just take a screwdriver and pop it off not %100 sure but i think the hinge is on the bottom

Midnight,
There is a screw in the center (almost) of the kick panel.
For the seatbelts. The square latch on top, take that off you'll see a torx bolt. Take out that bolt and the seatbelt will come out. All that will be left is the bolts up top about the rear sails.
The latching part of the seat belt. Take off that "X" looking plastic piece and you'll see another torx. Remove that and you are golden!
Hope this helps a little.

I got the screw out of the kick panel... If you look at the picture, you can see it is almost all the way out... but it seems to be stuck on something right where it goes under the dash.
I think I just need to give it a good yank, but my wallet tells me otherwise.
Thanks so far though,
-Eric

There's only 3 screws holding that piece in, 1 bottom sill held in by molding over the kick plate, 2 top molding on door frame, 3 right in the corner where the seat bolts in.
Other than that it's just held in by a couple bits that sticks out and slides under the piece of plastic that's above it.
pull down and out...

BTW, all the bolts for the seatbelts are T45, I had to go out and buy a set.

Finally got the kick panels out. Thanks.
But what are torq keys... and where can I buy them?
I had a little thing that was like a 3 way allen wrench, but that snapped in half.
