    It is dead easy mate, just clipped in place, no special tricks.

    It is held to the b pillar with a quarter turn fastener behind the sensor cover thing too.

    1. So, using a flathead pop the B pillar cover out and undo the red fastener behind it.
    2. Get your fingers under the trim above your head at the headlining edge and pull it down and then pull it away.

    To thread it out from the B pillar trim you may need to remove that too again by just pulling it away.

    I think there's a screw that holds it on where the grab handle is, there is on my C70.

    Do I need to take the bolt out as well that's in there? Don't seem to be able to move the piece of trim that the sear belt comes through.
