OK David,
Reading from my hastily scribbled-on-envelope (upside down in the dark with
flashlight):
The THREE screws holding Lucille's sill trim are panhead Phillips, bright but
not quite chrome looking'
The kick panel is carpeted, but I did find two screws - one right up under the
molded plastic vent panel far forward and against firewall - it's a "sombrero"
type Phillips, same as the many that hold plastic trim panel inside door frame.
There is a second screw, an oval-head Phillips, chrome, that holds the
doorframe end of a plastic wrap-around extension of the carpeted piece - this
one screws in pointing forward, into the door frame. I could not see or feel
any others, so think there may be a couple of clips?? in the panel backer.
This car has never been apart in this region of the interior (wish I could say
the same for the dadburn AutoTemp) so I feel confident these are good findings.
It may be different for a two-door? Hope it's of help to you!
