QL-K1020 — factory kick/cowl-side trim removal guide for the Q-Logic fitments listed below.

Safety: Ignition off/key removed. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's battery/SRS precautions. Use plastic trim tools and do not force a panel that resists.

OEM term: Kick panel / fresh-air vent   Source grade: D

  1. Identify the factory Kick panel / fresh-air vent and any sill plate, footrest, hood-release handle, or adjacent trim that overlaps it.
  2. Remove visible screws, nuts, push pins, or clips only after confirming their locations in the linked reference.
  3. Use a plastic trim tool close to each retainer and pull the panel free without forcing it.
  4. If the panel resists, stop and verify the exact model-year procedure before continuing.

Q-Forms note: Fresh-air vents/hardware are removed.

Reference: TPD Hi-Fi 1967 C10 custom kick-panel installation. A clear model-specific technical/restoration tutorial is used because a publicly accessible factory trim-removal page was not located.

Manufacturer service information controls if it differs from this summary. Fasteners and trim details can vary by year/options.
