    Does anyone know if theres instructions on how to remove & install the rear inner side pannel on the X'tra cabs? I noticed that my driver's side has about a 1 inch gab between the plastic panel and the window, whereas my passenger side there is no gap--when I'm letting off the clutch on a hill, there's a rattle from the drivers side, so I assume the plastic is rattling around. Any help is apprecaited.

    Pics for reference:

    its been years since I have pulled those side panels(to replace the window lock mechs), but I believe I had to pull the rear(under back window) plastics first. I don't remember it being that difficult, just took a little time pulling other stuff first.

    Pretty sure you have to remove the rear panels first, once those are out work up from the bottom, there are most likley panel clips that snap out and the side panels will lift up. Looks like the one side is off the rails on the top. Lost of threads here with people modding speakers, etc.
