Default Removing Interior.

so I just found a dent on my car.
so the dent lies right there, I was wondering how do I competely take off the interior piece that lies right behind the drivers seat where the rear seat is.
I was only able to pry it off about half way until I reached the rear seat belt and thats where it stopped, am I suppose to remove any screws or anything to take the whole thing off? I'm trying to push the dent out myself..

Thanks for replies.

i believe you have to take out the tops of the rear seats, atleast on that side, and start from the back take out all the plastic clips (on dc's there are a cpl 10 mm bolts too) and then from the back push the panel towards the front then pull it out

DENTS & HAIL DAMAGE
Dry Ice will condense metal and thereby shrink small dents on your car. Place the Dry Ice on the inside of the dent if possible. Use heavy gloves and press flat sheet against dent. If it is not possible to get on the inside concave part of the dent, then using heavy gloves hold the Dry Ice so a corner can fit into the bottom lowest part of the cratered dent. Hold the Dry Ice until the metal is frosted at least 2 inches beyond the dent. Let the metal warm up (in the sun is the best) and repeat the procedure. Sometimes the dent will pop out perfectly. More often it will not be possible to get a flat smooth finish, but the dent will be reduced noticeably. Creased metal will still show the crease line but the dent will be far less pronounced. I have not seen any paint damage, but I'm sure if the paint is not strongly adhered, it could peel away.
