Default Removal 90 Hush panel driver side

I need to get under my dash on the driver side. I removed the two screws on each side of the steering column in the carpet. However, there seems to be something holding the carpet panel on the door side of the panel.

Are there bolts/screws on the left side door side. If bolt(s)/screws what size and location.

Appreciate the help.

IIRC there are two more screws on the left side buried in the carpet and there is a nut/stud way back by the pedals.

Do you know the size of the bolts in the side (door side) in the hush panel. I found the screw at the bottom middle of the panel and can see one of the bolts on the side but can't get a socket to grip and turn the bolt.

Appreciate the help.

7mm turned out to be the proper size for the hex screw. I finally was able to locate a socket with thin enough walls to work with the almost zero side clearance.

Again,

Appreciate the help.....

Sorry I was thinking of the aluminum panel under the carpet witch I am pretty sure are 10mm. If you have to remove it 2 are on the side and the other 2 are smack up next to the carpet that covers the transmission tunnel.
