4. Lift up on the rear of the seat and pull back to remove.
5. Remove the two plastic rivets securing the left side panel.
6. Grasp the rear of the side panel and pull firmly outward to disengage the side panel from the retainers and remove from the vehicle.
7. Remove the push rivet on the PVT access panel and unlatch the two latches to remove.
8. Remove the four lower fasteners and nuts on the footwell with a T27 TORX® socket and an 11mm wrench.
9. Use the T27 TORX® socket to also remove the two upper fasteners securing the footwell to the fenders.
10. Then remove the two push rivets on the front of the footwell.
11. Pivot the footwell away from the body panels to disengage the tabs and remove from the vehicle.
12. Remove the PVT inlet duct and loosen the outlet duct clamp with a ¼-inch socket.
