I would cut the carpet with scissors so only abut 1/2 to 1" needs to be tucked up under the side panel with a screwdriver. Thats the easy way. The other way is to open the center console , pry up the cover in the bottom, unscrew the two phillips screws. Also unscrew the two phillips screws in the cubby box right under the handbrake handle, take out the ashtray, and the fusebox cover , remove the clip in the center under the fusebox cover, lift up the plastic cover for the shift indicator and handbrake. Now you can slide the centerconsole back and reveal the two screws on the side holding the side cover. There is also a screw on the side further forward. Now you can pull the sidepanel out and tuck the carpet up under it. Slit the carpet as necessary to get it in properly around the screw brackets. If you want to remove the panel completely ask for further instructions. I have done it many times.
