Ideally for the best access you would remove the avionics bay skin, but as I discovered on my SLSA the skin is not removable by reasonable means. I believe when they sealed that skin for waterproofing they were too effective, or at least did not adequately insure that it would be removable. Maybe they did a better job on yours?
This was encountered with a avionics problem requiring extensive work behind the panel. Fortunately the Skyview unit leaves a fairly large window into the avionics bay when removed and the work was ultimately done through that opening. I don't think that will provide adequate access to the knob panels and radio tray.
Good luck
