Instructions to remove '03 Kompressor Coupe back side panels?

The factory Bose Amp is behind the side panel on the passenger side and I'm having a heck of a time removing it.

I see all sorts of instructions on how to remove the front door panels as well as rear door panels for non Coupe's, but I cannot find instructions on how to remove the side panels in the backseat for the Coupe.

I really don't want to break it. Thanks for the help!

Haven't tried personally but it shouldn't be terribly difficult. Start poking around the trim and look for fasteners. Then I'd start prying with a plastic wedge tool. I imagine the panel probably has a bunch of clips popped into holes, much like the front door trim.

Thanks for the response. I'm in the process of doing that and I know with the front door you have to pry the handle off the door to access a screw. I almost want to try prying some parts off in the center to see if there's a screw behind it, but I don't want to rip anything off the leather upholstery either. I did found a screw behind the SRS plastic insert but that's it so far.

I'll poke around. If anyone knows, please drop a message! Thanks.
