Removing rear interior panel from 66 Barracuda

[TimDart]

Hi all, looking to remove the rim below the rear side window, removed the 3 screws but not coming out. Is it part of the lower panel or separate?
Earlier I removed the door rest, winder etc , but can’t seem to get the upper panel (steel part) out.

Clips and a few screws.

There is a screw at the very back in the cargo area under the window weatherstripping.

Also, IIRC you need to remove the door panel and there are some screws under the chrome trim the door panel slides into.

Thanks, I didn’t see the lower screws which are hidden by the door panel
I was removing the panel to see if sufficient metal exists to mount a seat belt plate for a three point seat belt arrangement.

I don't remember seeing any threads on 3 point seat belts for the rear of a 66 Barracuda but there is bound to be someone that has some ideas.

You may try starting a thread asking and see what ideas come up.

By the way, I was stationed at RAF Greenham Common in the late 80's. Loved my 3 years in England.
