Dan,
The best way is to use a razor knife and simply perforate the skin on the
inside. There are many ways to make these access panels, but if you want to
remove an internal skin that is over a foam core, well just approximate the
angle and perforate ensuring you don't push too hard and compromise the
outer skin. Once you have a starting point, it is easy enough to join up
the perforations. I reckon the best way it to take back 1/2" or so, and
then put back a small flox fillet that will bond it all together, plus give
the cloth on the inside a nice coutour that is not too angular that it
compromises strength.
