Changing seat belts..removing interior rear side panels
I'm exchanging my front seat belts with red ones. Anyone done this and how hard is it to get the rear side panels off? I don't want to go pulling and tugging at them only to find out that I have broken off tabs/fasteners, etc. TIA. Did a search, nothing helpful came up.

As I recall, if you take the top piece off the inside rear quarter window then you will see how easy it is to get the lower panel off. Not hard at all. It does not require any force so if you are forcing it then you did it wrong.

jdoc,
When I removed the top pieces, I had to tug on them pretty hard since the spidey-like adhesive was so insistent on maintaining grip. I was told to gently keep on pulling the caps off until they separated from the body. No tabs to break; just be sure you remove all screws.

LIke Mark and Kim said - remove all the screws and then it is just muscle power against the adhesive power. They aren't that bad if you start at an end - there isn't anything that you can't see holding them in place to break.
Good luck and post pics when done.
