Default Trim removal?

I smashed my seatbelt into the sill trim. I need to remove the plastic sill piece that includes the cutouts for the seatbelts. I bought the part from Fichtner.

Has anyone an idea where to start? do I need to remove the seat?

Thanks,
:banghead: :banghead:

not sure I understand what part you are talking about but I am thinking removing the seat might make things easier either way if it is what I THINk you mean

Move the seat foward and give it a pull (snap tight,skill level 3 :D ) You willl have to pop off the rocker panel trim 1st,because it tucks under this piece...

Thanks, C-5 Tech. So all I have to do is pull, pop off the rocker panel and then my "sill" piece!

Great.

no screws!
