Thank you sooooo much!!!  The rubber plugs really hold it tight then because we really thought it was glued!!

  The sidewalls have little rubber plugs that go through the sidewall, and
into holes in the sheetmetal. To get them off, just carefully put a
screwdriver under the panel, and slide down til you find the first
plug. Then lever the sidewall off. The plugs are pretty sturdy, and
unless you have had water damage to your sidewall, you should be able
to pull it off without damaging it. I put cupholders on my sidewalls
also. There isn't anything behind the passenger side except
insulation. The driver side does have water and electrical, but it is
nowhere near the sidewall. You have about three+ inches between the
inside and the sheet metal. When I pulled my sidewalls, I put sound
deadner, and new insulation in. It SOOOOOO much quieter now! GL with
the cupholders! They really are nice to have! Much less spills
happening, but you do need to make sure the passenger side one is up
before folding the bed up or down. I have snapped it right off the wall
several times!!!!!
