How do I safely remove the plastic amp cover under the seat without hurting it? I noticed that there are two clips holding it down. Any special tools needed?

Good question. It's held on by two black plastic clips. Since nobody ever sees that part of the car under the seat, I just pried them off with a screwdriver, which left marks.

I suppose the proper tool would be a "panel tool" of the sort designed for removing the interior panels of car doors.

I've found the best way to get it them off is to firmly pull the the whole plastic panel up and out. Those plastic screws need even pressure on all sides to pull out and what is more even than the plastic cover they're on?

You won't damage anything because those screws are designed to give grip away after some bit of force.

Any other will just marks/stretches the plastic cover.
