I’m trying to remove the driver’s side interior panel. Is there a fastener that I’ve overlooked? I need access to the fill pipe and to install side mounted camera.

I’m installing a second fill tube to isolate fuel tanks, a backup camera system, wiring for dash mounted media system and some insulation. So I really need to remove this panel. I have all the screws removed around the window and near the dash but area near the bottom of the fill tube will not move. Any ideas?

The coach wall panel overlaps the rear vertical edge of the "door trim
panel" if you remove the wall panel you might find a screw or two
underneath it.

Rod,

In addition to the side panel overlapping the driver's side panel, there
are one, probably two, horizontal screws between the side panel and the
main dash. They can be reached with a 1/4" socket and extension from the
front beneath the dash (IIRC after several years of active CRS). Might be
a larger socket, too.
