As for removing the panels... pry something between the plastic panel and the car itself (where the door closes) and that will make a nice starting point for you. You may have to remove screws just below your door, and removing the seats wouldn't hurt either.

Aight this is how you do it...
Take a large screw driver, and pry at that square with the little notch in it. The hanger hook is like a drywall anchor, where the action of the screw being screwed into the anchor makes the anchor buldge out and hold in place. In this case, that square with the notch in it towards the bottom of the hook is the screw, and the hook itself is the anchor. The farther you can get that square out, the more the buldge gets smaller. It's hard to do, and truthfully when I did it I just took the biggest flatblade I could find with the longest handle, and I just pried the f***er off. Once the hook is off, there's a screw at the bottom along the bottom, right behind the front seats. Unscrew that, and pull the piece out from the kick panel. Once that's free, start pulling.. it's velcro'd in for the most part.

pry at the hooks, you might ding it up a little but it'll come out. Reread what I said in my previous post, it's like a drywall anchor type of scheme, the farther in that square at the bottom of the hook is, the more bulged out the "anchor" is, so you want to pry that square as much as possible away from the hook.
