Default Window rattle fix

Hello All,
Fell victim to the famous window rattle. Took the bottom boots off and found that one of the bolts that secure the track down was completely loose. The nut had completely backed off. See pic. Couple questions for people that have tackled this already. Whats the best way to get the bottom interior panel off so I could refasten the nut? Anyway I could just get a portion of the bottom open enough to slide my hand in and put the nut on. I guess I would prefer not to have to take the whole panel off if I don't have to. Any tips from someone that has done this already? Thanks in advance for the help.

Rob

FYI,
Just fixed it. Literally took 5 minutes. Popped off the reflector from the bottom. This gave me access to put the nut back on. Hope this helps someone in the future.
