Removing driver's kick panel ?
 
How do you remove the driver's kick panel ? I can pull the front, but the rear seem to have a sort of bolt behind a plastic cover ! Is that a bolt or just a clip ? I tried to pull, but the cover didn't come off !

Any help ?

Thanks

Which panel are you referring to?

I will assume you are talking about any of the plastic panels that are snapped on.. if you are then first pry up with fingers as to not damaged panel upon removing. There are two types of pins or clips that hold the panel on the first is a screw looking pin with fins on it that grip in the mounting point to hold the panel on. the second pin or clip is a metal flex grip pin ususally mounted over metal pinch welds ( the metal that stands up when two panels are joined).
Once you have the panel up you can usually pry this up from the under side closet to the pin or clip location and try not to damage the panel. otherwise you can just pull these out with force not to exceed mass amounts.
If you break the pin or clip you can go and get these at any auto dealer or auto parts store.

The plastic panel that I want to remove is the one used to hold in place the fuse's panel just on the left of the pedals. I do removed the door side of it, but I can't figure out how to remove the other side (the side that is facing the floor behind the pedals). There is a small circle on it, just like a bolt cap or something like that. I do tried to pull it, but it didn't come off. Maybe I didn't pull enought, but I just want to be sure before braking anything :D !

Thanks
