Thanks rubics cube, your description and insight helped a lot. I was able to remove the upper panel with no problems but when I did the small part that separates the upper panel from the lower panel on the C pillar dropped down behind the lower panel. I could still see it and tried to "fish" it out but when attempting to do so it fell all the way to the floor. So..... I had to remove almost everything to retrieve it including the entire cargo floor and even unbolt and move the metal platform that replaces the rear seat in a panel.
Although a real pain I got it back together as good as new. On an interesting side note I could not believe the debris under the cargo floor. Lots of blue painter's type tape??? and lots of plastic shavings??? Amazing what the factory just seems to leave inside the car.
How do you get the 2 black fasteners out of the middle of that panel i cant see to find a tool to pry them out a screw driver just distorts them
The joint between top and bottom is the red line. Perhaps the fasteners in question are the 2 I've circled. On mine they are 2-part plastic push pins, not difficult to remove. Pull the center part of the push pin out. Then it will be obvious.
Sleeper, are you saying your part #8 is integral to your part #2? Boy, that seems unlikely, have you had it apart?
