380 upholstered side panels

[josh broze]

I have a 380 and can’t figure out how to get the port and starboard side upholstered panels off so I can have them redone I have attached a picture of what I am needing to remove

They are held in with plastic “Christmas trees” and to remove you need to get a tool behind an edge and start popping them loose. Just like a door panel. Use fingers if possible and if a tool is required use plastic to avoid damaging the vinyl or gelcoat.

they sell plastic door panel removal tools at auto stores or on amazon.

Did mine today, took 2 minutes. Gently pry out with a putty knife or thin flat screwdriver, trees are toward the top of the panel, start aft and work forward

here are pics of the back side of mine to show where the Xmas trees are located

I got this kit of tools from Amazon to help me out and they work great for removing the panels...
