Default Access to dovetail nuts

Hey Guys, The screws won`t tighten on the dovetail on the door pillar. Will I need to remove the bottom cushion, backrest and trim panels to gain access? It appears so. Will the back rest simply lift off some hooks?

Thank you
Richard/Maine

Richard, I had the same problem with my coupe, but was able to solve the problem with a self threading nut on the backside of the dovetail plate.
