What sort of cutting tool are people using to trim the paneling?

I'm not sure. I had mine installed by my local auto repair shop. It appears they removed the panel, cut it with a hack saw or keyhole saw, then reinstalled it.

An exacto knife or a drywall knife will work. I have a base model Highlander and it doesn't have the panels, so I didn't need to worry about it. Some instructions I read tell you that you don't need to replace the panels, they're optional.

I would suggest using a coping saw, they are designed to cut intricate shapes from wood.

In rhe middle there is a large passthru for the computer area there is some perferations in the cardboard panels....cuts with a utility knife easily. I have cut both upper side shelve areas as well for other devices.

I used a hand saw, but this material is quite strong. A table saw would be ok I'd think

The X can be cut with a knife. I used a small saw in my garage and smoothed it out.

I used a PVC tubing cutter as I had to make many cuts for my installation. It's much faster than using a saw.

This is more for cutting trim and the like in place without having to remove it cut it then put it back. A grinder would be better for removing thin set from the surface of plywood.

No. I thought of various ways without success. I ended up buying the Rockwell Versacut saw. It has a depth adjustment up to 1". Very good saw and easy to control versus the Rotozip which I consider close to money wasted. With the rotozip, I used it to cut cement /wonderboard with success since accuracy isn't a problem and thinset will cover it anyway. For finish cut on paneling, go with the Rockwell which also comes with guides. For your info, Rockwell Versacut is a safer tool to operate than the Rotozip bcz the blade retracts.

If all you're cutting is corrugated or standing seam roofing the shears will work fine. Nibblers help if you have to cut around round objects where you won't have a piece of flashing to cover up your cut. If you have to make a straight long cut your best option is taking a regular Skil saw and flipping the blade over backwards. this will cut through any metal roofing. If you dont want to chip up a new wood blade you can get a sheet metal blade for a regular skil saw at almost any hardware store. They have tiny little pointed teeth. this will be your best option for cutting the excess lengths off along the eves of the house.

Cutting the flat surfaces would be easy, navigating the bends and creases will be difficult. Use a skill saw with fine tooth blade for clean trim cuts.

I have used this cut-off tool/grinder to cut tile. You will need to buy a tile blade. It's not the best for making long straight cut but it gets the job done. I found it to be most useful for making irregular cuts.

Not sure about cutting it but it's thin enough to cut. We put a thin piece of laminate under it for more floor protection from chair wheels.

Any wood cutting blade would work. The more teeth a blade has , the less ripout there is. This mainly applies to wood but I imagine it would be the same with the foam backed trim. Get a 50 or 60 tpi blade

My husband was easily able to cut this down. He put it on the door, marked it with a sharpie and used a hack saw. It works fine!

you can use heavy duty industrial scissors to cut them or a box cutter or hack saw.

I used a box cutter, just mark your line with a pencil and measure. You can even use scissors. I used the utility knife(box cutter) for a cleaner line. Use the corners you trim off to make the new corners. I had multiple sized shelves, so I bought planning on trimming. The trimmings make nice shelf liners for your cabinets(say under your glasses). For the long guide referred to in a previous answer, use one of your sheets to mark your line once you measure what you need cut.

1 panel make sure you have a sharp box-cutter and be careful cause they can shatter if you are cutting them.
