This is a series of 'how to guides' for the complete removal of the rear interior trim:
THE PANELS MUST BE REMOVED IN THIS ORDER:
TOOLS REQUIRED
REAR QUARTER PANEL REMOVAL
Start by inserting a slim pallet knife under the trim so as not to mark the panel. You then need to carefully use a flat head screw drive to pop the trim off.
This will then reveal a single cross head screw fixing which you need to remove.
Next, remove the lower hex fixing.
And the 3 hex fixings at the upper rear where it meet the C pillar trim.
Working from the door aperture, pull back the weather seal and start to release the pop fixings. Some will brake so you should order some in advance: PN-980145155 £0.79 each.
Once all released, the panel can be removed from the car.
