how do you remove the rocker panel gfx bracket?

i am removing the gfx from my rs and turning it into a sport coupe. i cannot seem to figure out how the rocker panel gfx bracket is attatched to the car. the car is a 1990 if that makes a difference. let me know, i got no ideas as it sits right now.

rocker panel extensions: theres two bolts on the inside of each side. you've gotta take out the spare tire, and the cardboard box on the other side they are down below that.

behind the door: If you have tiny arms you can go through the vents in the doors. But if you have popeye arms like me you'll have to take out the rear seat, and the plastic panel beside it. Pull the carpet back and there should be i believe 2 nuts to remove and it'll come off

i think he wants to know how to remove the mounting tab that runs along the door sill.

I think it is welded on. You will have to cut and grind.

U can carefully drill out the spot welds if you want to keep the bracket intact

Just dont go through your rocker panel
