Accepted Answer

Usually you can get them off by prying with a wide bladed tool. They have special tools for this but a screwdriver will usually work. You will probably have to take off a plastic piece along the bottom, then you should be able to get the side piece off that has the seatbelt behind it. If you pry it out a little you can usually see where the panel retainers attach to the body of the car.

I told you how to do this in my previous post. You must use a flat bladed tool to pry it off.
