Re: B pillar removal
You need to remove the whole rear seats, the trim that covers the roll bar, seatbelts.

Re: B pillar removal
I've done this job Jerry. Although it doesn't look like it, the B pillar and the rear side trim panel ( beside the rear seat) is all one piece so you need to remove the whole panel. To do this you need to remove the rear seats. You will need to remove the seat belts to get the rear seats out. The front seat belts will also need disconnecting along (if memory serves me correctly) with the roll bar cover and the front cant section.MrCoolA wrote:Just to remove the covers where the front seat belts mount?AndyC wrote:You need to remove the whole rear seats, the trim that covers the roll bar, seatbelts.
Sounds like a lot of work but it's not too bad.
