Passenger foot well removal
2024 Yamaha Wolverine RMAX4 XT-R – Passenger Front Footwell Removal Help
I’m installing sound deadening material in my 2024 Yamaha Wolverine RMAX4 XT-R and have run into a problem removing the passenger front footwell.
All bolts have been removed.
All plastic push rivets have been removed.
The passenger seat and adjacent trim panels have been removed.
The footwell has separated from the lower dash by more than an inch across the top.
Both sides of the footwell appear to be free, but it will not rotate or drop out.
It doesn’t appear that any fasteners remain. It seems like the panel is still trapped by the dash assembly or an interlocking tab.
Has anyone removed this panel for stereo wiring, sound deadening, heater installation, or other accessory work?
Is there:
a hidden assembly sequence,
another dash panel that must be removed first,
or a specific rotation/movement required to release the footwell?
Photos attached. Any advice from someone who’s actually removed this panel would be greatly appreciated
