Nort's right - Just look for rough water, and they'll come right down....
First, you have to remove the bottom panel with the lights in it. This is held on by a combination of "killer" Velcro, and by being pinched between the wall and the vinyl-covered trim panel. I used a plastic pry bar, started at the back and worked forward. The lights are hard-wired, so you have to either let it "dangle" or cut the wires.
Once you have that off, remove the speakers and unplug the wires. (You'll need a right-angle ratchet screwdriver to get the outboard speaker screws out.) Reaching through the speaker holes and other access holes with a deep 3/8" socket or wrench, remove the 5 nuts that hold the trim panel up. I could not reach the front nuts on each side, so I cut a new 3" hole underneath, as far foward as possible.
We're replacing the blue vinyl on these valance panels with black to go with the paint scheme.
We are also replacing the "sparkle" Ultraleather on the starboard side, as the halogen lights got turned on when we had the panel hanging down, and it burned the Ultraleather. (Duh!) We will have enough material left over to do one side if anyone needs it.
