I am trying to remove the interior side wall panel that is next to the driver's side back seat. I have removed the plastic runner floor panel on the step out the door, as well as the black strip located along the top of the two back seats. This has enabled me to pry the side interior panel away from the wall somewhat, but not all the way. It's still attached by something lower that I can't see. I don't want to yank it and possibly break it. Any suggestions?

I can't say for sure as I haven't worked on a 2001, but in a 1997 those panels are just connected by clips, and the only way to get it off is to yank it. Then it goes back on by just pounding the clips in.
