i got a 97 ex civic coupe...i need help trying to remove the side kick panel on the drivers side so that i can run my speaker wires etc under there...i almost or barely broke my darn hood latch when getting mad and trying to yank that sucker out...i dont feel any pop screws or nothin but it just wont budge...anyone kno how to properly take this out??

 

I was also doing speakers in my 98 ex yesterday....Take a flathead screwdriver and place it in the tiny opening for it.....Apply pressure carefully insuring you will not break any of the clips....There is also a screw in the panel if im not mistaken.....And yes i have broken my hood latch....lol it sux....

 

well i popped out the tabs from the top part but i cant get the inside part to come offf....grrrr....wheres the screw too?? and do i have to unscrew the seatbelt on thte bottom?? cause it looks like its over the panel...damn i been bending and yanking and now the panel is bending and wont go bak to its shape... haha

 

get a screw driver and go along side of it to try to pop it up.

there are so many plastic tabs...
