Best way to remove interior side panels?

[nighthawk73]

Hi, I've got a 1990 civic si hatchback. It's leaking from the rear wheel wells, It's rusted completely out so I plan on doing some bondo work. I had the same problem in my crx, but those seemed so much easyier to remove. So my question is what is the best way to go about this? I plan on removing the entire rear moulding. Any help or tips will be greatly appreciated, thanks

Remove back seat, remove any screws you can find in the panels. Carefully grab the edge at the door and pull, should pop out. Start going around trying to pop it out, if it requires too much force, you are missing a screw or something around that area, look for it.

Works with just about any vehicle.

If you haven't removed the rear seat, fold it down and in the middle where they hinge there is a little black clip, remove it and it should give you the room to slide the seat out.

Yeah the panel are almost entirely pop clips, and if theres a screw you will see it.

Got the majority of it done, the folding part of the seat doesn't seem to want to come out. How do you go about removing the folding part? Is it the only way to remove the side panels?

Its that little clip I mentioned earlier. Its in the middle between the 2 pieces, when you look at it, you will see what I'm talking about, just pull it out and slide the backs out.
