Rear strut install tips needed

Planning to replace the rear struts in our 02 RX. How do you remove the interior panels to get to the top nuts? I'd rather not be finding out the hard way after breaking clips.

It just pops off, it is only held in by clips.

Slip a screwdriver in between the plastic and the carpet; should go straight up, as I recall.
