It is not as easy to remove the right side underdash panel in the 126 chassis as you might think. There are a number of hidden fasteners, some of which can be a little confusing as to how to remove properly. Kent has seen a lot of broken and damaged panels that confirm this. This video will walk you through the proper step-by-step procedure to get it out easily and without damage. Since the actual left side panel varies from year to year Kent only alludes to being careful but does not give actual removal details for the driver's side.
