Hey all, what size are the bolts to take off under the rubber? I am moving and have a lot of stuff packed so I don't want to pull apart different boxes to get the right size tool.
Okay, well no answers. So it was a size 6 socket that did the trick. @15k miles, no smoking, once or twice someone with a vape was in the truck, but that's it.

I think they are removed with a 6mm socket, but I don't remember for sure.
the plat. have "wood" trim that doesn't come out like the rest of the trucks, any idea how to get that trim up, i've already started cracking it by prying from the bottom.
ok, i got it, i had to stick my hand up the left side of the big opening and push the wood trim paneling tab out. once i got that out, i could stick a skinny screw driver under the trim and pop it out. not for the faint of heart on a $90 piece of trim
see the sqaurish hole in the upper left
also i ordered from rockauto and they had 2 parts, 1 was motorcraft part some other made by hastings. the hastings piece did not fit
what a PITA, seems like the car was designed by engineers vs designers, that why you have to take the car apart unlike my last honda. which was relatively easy compared to this car.
btw, 18,000mi, no smoking whatsoever and window down driving from time to time.
