Removing kick panel?

Before I start, let me just say I did do a search and there was NOTHING about this.

I am trying to to remove the driver's side kick panel (plastic thing at the bottom corner of the door panel) and there seems to be a hollow rod or tube that is connected to the body of the car. Is there a bolt or screw inside the rod/tube that I have to remove before I can take off the kick panel? I've put my finger in the hole and can't feel anything (the hole is too deep for my fingers). Is there an easier way to remove the kick panel?

BTW If you want to know why I'm removing my kick panel, I'm running my amplifier's power cable from the boot to the car battery.

Are you sure? I've managed to pry most of the kick panel off...it's just stuck at that rod/tube section. Has anyone else managed to remove their kick panel?

stick your finger in the tube, and pull in a direction. im pretty sure you bull back, but you might pull up, or down, or toward teh firewall. i think its a different direction on teh passenger side, too, but ive forgotten.

doesnt take much force, youll hear a pop almsot immediately.
