I'll bet Cap'n is right about the clips. I only say this since two weekends ago I needed to take the port side panel off on our model year 2001 Vista so I could pull our cockpit fridge out. There was only one screw I could see to remove to take the side panel off, but the side panel didn't want to come off after this one screw was removed. A little pull upwards and off the panel came exposing two clips behind the panel that held the panel on.
