'98 212 Captiva BR - Removing cockpit side trim to tighten grab rails

[pkcal]

New to Rinker and RBO, purchased 212 BR in the Fall, working on punchlist of little things to fix.  Both side interior grab rails are loose....and looks like a simple job to just get behind the trim panel and tighten the nut onto the threaded rod that is attached to the grab rails.  Anyone have a schematic of how the trim comes apart?  I'm comfortable popping clips if its like an Auto door panel but unclear what order the various pieces need to come of to access the backside of the grab rails.

Thanks in advance for guidance/schematic/images.

Being a bow rider, can you lift off the bow cushions and reach from under the seat?  you might be able to reach between the inner and outer fiberglass shells....my '93 209 Captiva BR is like that.  You have to be a bit of a contorsionist but I think it's possible.

Thanks - I should have been more specific on location.....the grab rails that are loose are the ones in the main cockpit (attach to the interior side, along the gunwhales above the lower side storage areas between the rear bench and the back of the two pedestal seats).  Looks like there is a pretty long threaded section that extends from the grab rails thru the trim and must punch thru the interior shell of the boat somewhere.....but everything above the storage areas is pretty well buttoned up and can't see any exposed fasteners.  Likely they use automotive type push connectors but figured I'd ask before prying things apart.
