    Hi Everyone,

    How do I remove those rear sail panel covers from the interior. When I pull it out slightly, I can see a metal clip holding them on, but I can't figure out if the panel needs to be slid up or down to remove it and I don't want to trash them doing it.

    Thanks. Jim.

    Trying to recall....two screws on the front face and a couple behind the rear seat back, then pull up/un-hook over the top of the panel. Of course you've already got the window handle off.

    I believe he is talking about the sail panel not the side panel down by the seat.
    On my old 67 the clips just pushed straight in and pulled straight out of the body.
    The clips where L shaped and slid into pockets on the back side of the cardboard
    sail panel. So if they have been there awhile might be a little sticky.Maybe try a long
    screw driver and get the tip right next to the push in hole and twist.
    You do have to be careful because that cardboard panel will tear easy. Good luck.
