How does one remove the internal sill covers on a 2010 1.2 Panda? In the front I’ve removed the cover over the front wheel arch and the screw in the sill cover just in front of the B pillar put no amount of reasonable force is releasing the cover from whatever captive system is used. At one point something snapped and a cylindrical piece of plastic (see image) with a broken edge fell out onto the carpet. What’s the technique to remove the sill cover please?

IIRC you are supposed to pull upwards. But it's many moons ago that I fitted the towbar (and electrics) to my 100HP.

Bonding with Becky! | FIAT Panda (Mk3)
As last Tuesday's trip south into Midlothian was the first time Becky has been out of the city I decided to give her a bit of a check up this morning. Pleasingly all the simple stuff, oil level, coolant, brake fluid, tyre pressures, etc were spot on. As I'd been noticing a very slight pull on...

The sill trim covers have lugs with a sort of barrel end that pushes into a slotted clip on the sill. They often break. I put mine back with a few dabs of TigerSeal. Not enough to be permanent (hopefully).

As Dave says.. that is the 'Barrel Shaped' tip on one of the locating tabs.. that push into slots in the sill of the cars structure
Unfortunately.. when I did mine would be before I joined the forum.. and being @2011/12 not on a smartphone either.. so no images
