There is a bolt that holds in in that you get to after removing the center storage compartment liner behind the seat.

You have to remove the trim that goes across all 3 doors.

It takes a 7/16" socket on an extnsion

Yep. I was able to get to the bolt through the jack compartment without removing the trim and center storage but it wasn't easy. Small hands and holding your tongue just right helps. What I didn't have but might work well for this bolt is a flexible shaft socket extension.

Finding the bolt in the back did the trick. Better than a sawsall. Thanks for the help. Allen

I was able to get to it without removing anything, through the jack storage I think
