How to remove aluminum side panels?

I may need to pull a bit of the siding off our little trailer, as part of my "project". Fortunately they look to be short panels, and only the bottom, where I can pull wheel well and rear corner trim to free the ends. How do these panels lock together though? Is it as simple as lifting it to pop the seam, or maybe just slide it to the rear? (after removing everything screwed to/though it of course)

Picture of panel in question....

Siding

Nothing is simple when dealing with a TT. If I'm not wrong, you will have to slide it one way or the other. I don't think the panels just Pop in. Not a project I would want to tackle. Utube it and see what you can find.

Believe me, I know, or rather I'm finding out. Didn't want to clutter up the "project" thread with vaguely related questions, so I posted this separately...…. but here is the "project". https://www.jaycoowners.com/forums/f...let-60711.html

It appears I'm fortunate in that they are shorter pieces, from back corner to wheel well, and not full length pieces.

If they are long pieces make sure to get some friends to help. The metal is very easy to crease and bend believe me. You will start with taking jwrap and attachments(corner trim too) in area off first. then jchannel. the pieces go on from bottom up. There is a groove in the piece above to slide it into and they are attached with staples to keep them on. Its a painstaking process and never too fun.
