On the BRZ, there are also 6 retaining clips per side panel, so a total of 12. On an FR-S we have read that there are only 4 clips so its an interesting difference. After each clip is pried up, the clips should be removable by hand.

The BRZ also has a Remote Trunk Release Cancel Button plug to disconnect on the driver side interior panel. After we had pulled the driver side interior cabin panel off we noticed we couldn’t completely remove it out of the way because we had to disconnect this small gadget.

A very useful button indeed in case someone hijacks you and throws you into the trunk haha.
