- Identify the factory Kick panel / fresh-air vent and any sill plate, footrest, hood-release handle, or adjacent trim that overlaps it.
- Remove visible screws, nuts, push pins, or clips only after confirming their locations in the linked reference.
- Use a plastic trim tool close to each retainer and pull the panel free without forcing it.
- 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.
