All,

I've got an '02 Explorer XLT 3rd row.

What steps should I take in removing the interior panel on the driver side next to my third row. I need to remove it in order to take care of a blend door fix because the rear climate controls will not heat and there is the signature clicking noise back there. Thanks much for suggestions.
