I think I know what you are talking about except that the piece that makes up your kickpanels is one long piece that runs all the way back to the rear seat. That might be why you are having trouble. I seem to remember when I installed my stereo we had to remove the seats to make everything easier. Those panels are a b$@#h to get off. They probably come off without removing the seat but we were taking those out anyway and it made everything much easier to work on. HTH.
