How to install driver side hush panels?

I can get the upper hush panel in, that's easy, but how do I get the lower part in? The part that covers the fuse box. Pics would help A lot! I thought I had it but then it fell on my feet while I was driving to school one morning.

Re: How to install driver side hush panels?

Anyone? I just need a quick pic! From what I can see the3 little tabs go onto the holes on the upper panel, and the hole goes around the peg by the gas pedal. But that's it!, it isn't held up with any screws from what I can see...

The light weight plastic piece goes in first, the heavier piece in front of it holds it in place.

I thought it may be that way, but it didn't make sense with those tabs. Oh well...as long as it stays up!

Thanks!

Re: How to install driver side hush panels?

I know this thread is old, but I learned that the above is not the right way to install the panels. I noticed that the three "pegs" should go into the holes in the bottom of the upper thicker panel. But I believe I need some type of clips? Any idea where to get them?

I found these:

I just want to see if there are any cheaper places to get them.

Just when you think you know a lot about Camaros--I assumed that all covers were the same, but....

Yeah they are different but that's not the part I'm talking about. I'm talking about the part that the piece you posted goes into.
