Now you will need to use either a magnetised screwdriver or piece of tape to hold the screw in position as you put it through the seatbelt slot.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The panels next to the rear seats on my cabriolet squeak incessantly. I have traced the source to them, as if my other half puts pressure against them while driving, the squeak ceases.
Does anyone have any tips on how to remedy this?
you might have to remove the panesl,
The clips that hold these things on have a metal washer that goes against the mount on the body, this metal washer has a piece of foam added to it to stop it from rattling, these foam pads just get old and wear away leaving the metal to rub on metal. I'd say the only way is to get the panels out and get felt put behind all the mounts.. It would be something I'd not want to do myself as these panels are expensive to replace if you break them! personally id take it to someone that knows what there doing.
I've seen walk throughs on how to remove these panels on the tinter web! it just says pull hard for most of them! GULP!! those metal clips have a tendancy to pop out of the mounts in the panel plastic too so once youve popped one or two your commited if they pull out the panel and you'll have to remove it fully to get them back in.
hope this might help.

Remove the bottom seat cover from the Velcro fastening.
Use a 3mm torx driver to remove the two screws on the speaker grills. Carefully lever them out from the screw end of the teardrop cover & 4.5" speaker, as there is a hinge at the front. Disconnect the cable connector from the speaker.
To remove the panel you will need be careful doing this as there is a single screw to the rear of the FRONT seatbelt slot that needs undoing first. Then fold the seat down and remove the seat supporting pin with an allen key. Leave the seat in the down position. Now starting at the back you need to work your fingers under the panel and pull outwards. Now work from the speaker hole and pull panel outwards. At the front take care as there is a metal clip connecting it to the upper seat belt panel....it is bit awkward but just wiggle & pull. Now lift the panel out taking care of the bottom fixed panel lugs that slot into the car body.
draught excluder works well (the spongey sticky back stuff you fit to window frames ), place around the edges where the panel touches the body
To put the panel back, start at the bottom by inserting the lugs into the retaining points. Then carefully line the panel back into position. Now you will need to use either a magnetised screwdriver or piece of tape to hold the screw in position as you put it through the seatbelt slot. Do NOT fully tighten. Now pull the door & window rubbers over the panel & push the panel back into position by applying firm force. Screw the seat supporting pin back in position & then tighten the front screw using finger force only. Put the seat base back in.
