Removal of Plastic Rear Side Panel (rear seat)

[dodo]

I got noise coming from the rear plastic panel (the panel under the rear side window) on the drivers side. Dealer couldn't fix it. I want to have a crack at it. Does any have the removal/re-installation instructions? Thx.

I'm in the same situation did you have any luck sorting this ?

After several visits to the dealer and extensive test driving with and

without the panel, I found that the source of noise was the rear side

window on the driver's side. I test drove the car with the

technician and showed him that when the window is pushed slightly

outwards the noise disappears. They fixed (R/I) the window with new

seals. Noise is gone. Later we also replaced the panel because it

showed signs of fatigue/slight deformation due to the repetitive R&I

while we were trying to determine the noise source.
