The panel sounds just like the one on my Mountaineer. The first you drop it, it is a royal pain. Now I can do it in under 5 minutes. The pane will not drop completely, what you need to do is take the bolts out so you can drop the door side (where the gas line is). If you take the bolts out of the sides about 2/3 of the way across it will slide back over the gas line. There are also probably bolts under the aluminum skirt as well. Once you have it down on the one side you can get up in there and should be able to reach where you need to guide it on. For some reason my quickie flush pops off once a year so I do this annually. One thing that speeds it up is a cordless drill with a socket attachment. Hope this helps.
