Lower switch panel removal

[SoundEngineer]

Does anyone have experience removing the lower switch panel? I want to install some accessories to the top-left and top-right panel 'squares', which are blank. I had hoped each was a separate little metal square that I could remove by unscrewing the 4 torx screws, but the entire lower panel is a single sheet of metal. If I go ahead and undo the dozens of torx screws, what else do I have to do to free up the panel? Presumably I have to prise off the rotary knobs for Audio Volume, Air Conditioning (fan, zone, etc.)?

Any guidance or tips from users who have done this previously would be welcomed.

Thanks!

There are a number of threads on here with pictures, it is 1 complete plastic unit that you remove rather than individual parts as it looks. They the modifications threads or what did you do with your Grenadier today thread. Sorry I can't be more helpful

You can’t install anything from the back, there’s a printed circuit sandwiched in the panel.

I agree with the limitations noted above, but check out the Ram mounts I added to those spots here. That may be helpful.

Have you looked at these options? I have the Owl accessory rail with the bulletpoint system, but the Agile system fits the top right and left spots, as you propose.
