Seatbelt retracter cover removal

[Brian VT]

I feel like an idiot because I can't figure out how to remove the plastic covering to replace my driver's seatbelt retracter.
I've got all of the screws out of that piece and the one above it but can't figure out where and which way to get the removal started. I'm afraid of breaking my 38-year-old plastics.

Help?

Photos would be good. I just take the screws out, remove to lower lock panels and pull it off with a panel tool

I haven't been able to get past removing the screws. I don't know what's holding the panels on at this point but there doesn't seem to be any give anywhere. I don't think the screws are even needed.

I’d bet it’s just panel clips.

Pretty sure the upper piece has to come off first. Have fun with those 38yr old torx bits....... they're meeaaaannnnn......lol..

I feel like that rear seats gonna have to come out too if you really don't want to be twisting on the plastics.
