B6 owners, are you with me on this?

F-off for designing this! The gap between the panel and the screw hole now owns 2 bolts on one side, 1 bolt, a rolled up piece of paper, and the panel plug on the other!

Just say, Hell yea if you know what I am talking about.

Magnetized screwdriver ftw! I never dropped a bolt.

hell yea...

lol... i've dropped the screw a couple of time down there... i know use pliers to grab the screw and pull it either in or out...

I lost that little cover on the driver's side when I pulled the interior. Its annoying that it's missing.

I've never lost a bolt though.

i lost one in there once. someone else made a thread about how to remove the tail light and in bold letters i warned of the ABYSS OF DEATH !!!!

*dum, dum, dum* (creepy music) lol. but you dont have to pull the screw all the way out, just enough to pop the tail light off.

I dropped a bolt in there and luckily retrieved it with my magnet tool.

But yeah... they were high on absinthe when they designed that and the cupholder.

OP, time to pull the panel off. Its easy. I did it when I switched rear bumpers.

Get some real tools, grow some nads and go to work.

2nd... i learned the hardway the first time, however it motivated me to finally take apart the rear to remove the old sat radio tuner. after that, magnetized tools ftw~!

yeah, i need some magnetic tools and/or a guide to take off that panel. Didn't have either on the weekend, I hate not having the right tools.

Remove the center sill plate by gently pulling up on it.

Remove the false floor. I can't remember if you need to remove the inner section of the floor.

Fold the rear seat back forward

Most of the side panel is held in with push-in tabs (like the center sill plate). You gently pull on them to remove 'em. There may be a couple torx screws too but I can't remember. Where are all the tabs? I can not remember but perhaps there are photos on Steph's (avanteix) photo album from when he went to a black interior from platinum?

If I missed any details someone please chime in. I'm going off of memory from when I pulled them all out over a year ago.
