Here's how I did it:
There are two screws/tabs at the bottom of the panel, to get to them I removed the carpeted side panels, three screws on each side of the panels, to get to the rear screws on the panel (by the e brake console) I removed both seats, 4 bolts each seat. While your in there think about replacing the lightbulbs and anything else broken, and cleaning up in there. I'm sure there are other ways to get in there but that's how I did.

ok here is how i did it. i unscrewed the front screw for the side panels. i slowly pulled them back to allow for enough room to get my hand in there. i used a stubby screw driver to unscrew the bottom two screws. i didnt have to take the seats out but you have to be careful not to damage the side panels. mine are cardboard.
