removing internal rear trim and tailgate panels

Hi all,
just wondered as to whether anyone could offer step by step advice or pics upon removal of internal rear side panels / and internal rear door trim - I'm looking to replace speakers and add fixings to rear door for storage (map pockets etc)

I've already convinced myself I'll snap something and sulk for the rest of the day



thanks for any help

Short story:

- remove rear seat bottom by pulling hard straight up (pull in front, there are two clips there)
- unclip the plastic ornaments which cover the rear seatbelt (between the rear seats, in the middle)
- you have 4 screws on the bottom (still between the rear seats)
- pull the velcro carpeting on the back of the seats, in the corner to expose the screw which holds the L shaped bracket
- now you should be able to remove the rear seats, leaving you with two more screws for the other part of the bracket
- the plastic trim in the rear is held by 2 or 3 screws and lots of plastic clips which will certainly break and will need to be replaced if you don't want to get lots of annoying buzz from the trim :pinch:

I removed the trim to wire my tow bar in and didn't snap any clips... you just have to be careful pulling it off evenly

Two of the plastic clips in the door jam on my newer model can only be re-fitted with the bumper off which is bloody annoying!

Thanks guys :woohoo:
