All the rest of the screws after removing the carpet covers are Torx T-20.
I will also now give you a great hint for working on interiors.
Even though all the screws use the same Torx head, they are NOT all the same screws. As you take each piece out, by these instructions, take a length of masking tape, stick the screws for THAT PART to the tape, fold the tape over on the screws, with enough left to stick the tape, with the screws, on the BACK of the part. This will keep all the proper diameter and length screws with the part they go with and make sure they go back into the hole they came out of.
Remove the pads by removing the two screws at the front edge as shown in the first pic below and then pulling them straight toward the rear of the car. The top clip is the hardest to remove. Make sure you keep the pads aligned properly as you pull them out, as in don't rotate them artound that pesky top clip, it may break if you don't pull that top clip straight out. It's hard to get hold of the top, soi use some patience.
Unplug the power outlet by depressing the two release tabs and pulling the plug out, as in the second pic.
