Does anyone have any instructions on how to remove the rear side panels? They seem to be attached pretty well. I don't want to just start pulling until something breaks.

If you are referring to the interior rear panels, remove the three (IIRC) screws on the top 'cap' so to speak and pull forward. Make sure the forward vertical edge is free from the capturing trim. I had to pull harder than I thought was required and had the same question as you do now..
Seems as though they get settled into some of the glue used for insulation installation, plus they are wedged in there pretty good..
Hope this helps..

Yes, I'm referring to the interior rear panels on either side of the back seats. However, I don't see any screws (IIRC ??). I assume you need to take the peg that the rear seats latch onto off, but beyond that I'm at a loss. Particularly, I'm trying to get to the seat belt mechanism. It seems to be slow to retract and I think the belt is twisted. I'm also going to be reworking the sound system and may need to pull the panel to run some new wiring.

IIRC, The upper front seat belt attachments have to come off, and then the "B" pillar covers (start with the coat hooks). After that, you'll find screws over the caps of the "roses" that the front seat belts feed through.
