I have a convertible and am curious how I properly remove the panels next to the back seat. Don't want t break any of the ford plastic snaps.

First look for trim fasteners EVERYWHERE and remove all of them with an actual trim fastener removal tool. Then carefully move the trim piece towards the front of the car...

Be careful and do not expect to get it back in properly on the first try.

It will be easier if you remove the seats themselves first. well it was in the 89 I had

Remove the seats first and then the panels are CAKE. Seats are easy to remove too.

Then just remove all the fasteners like KT said, I think there may be 1 or two bolts, and out they come. If I can figure it out, my gosh I hope you can. lol

No bolts, just elusive trim fasteners and it pulls off towards the front of the car, not up.

Trim is tricky, very tricky...
