To remove whole panels (I removed all of them) an impact driver is almost a necessity. Those screws are not stainless and have galled in the aluminum and are hell to remove without an impact. The impact makes quick work of them. It's an indespensible tool. An air compressor with a fine blower nozzle helps a lot as well as the screws are countersunk an the heads are filled with years of sawdust and debris. Blow them out after picking at them with a pick to ensure that the to driver fits all the way down in there so you don't strip the screws.
The rear panels are also glued down with panel bond adhesive.
The rear panels extend under the wheel wells so they have to come out to remove the floor panel.
If you can cut and route a panel to fill go that route, or epoxy, either works.
