 Check for screw heads before you force anything, never know what the PO
 did.

Not at all. you start to pry it out and youll break it. its not held in by
clips like the front or sliding door panels.  to remove the carat/wolfy
plastic sidepanels you must first remove the sofabed, then the table,
unscrewing the tabletop from the support bracket, then the bracket itself,
then the carpet/ corkboard, to expose the screws at the bottom, unscrew them,
then slide panel down and out from under the metal lip at the top..and even
this is a condensed version..     basically to remove this panel you have to
gut the whole rear part of your van's interior.
