B and C pillars

[tdi_blu]

Just bought some colour concept A,B,C pillars for my anni Ive found a guide on removing the headlining which involves unclipping the abc pillars etc but whats the best way of actually removing the b and c pillars due to the seat belts going through them?Sorry if its been asked just couldnt find much info on it.

basically its a pain in the ass boring job

gotta remove all lower plastics on front and unbolt the seatbelts if memory is correct (i could be mistaken as its years since i did mine) either way its not hard

rears your have to remove all platics in boot and the carpet on the sides, and the supports for the parcel tray

it will take you about a hour to do it all

Pretty much what Brad said, remove rear door cards   Remove parcel shelf and supports   Remove rear bench (makes life a lot easier) Remove the inside sill trims   remove the bolts holding the seatbelts to the car  
You can now pull the B pillars off and you will be greated by 2 screws, un-do screws. Go to the boot and look on the bottom of the C pillars, there are 3 plastic nuts, remove these  
You are now ready to remove the A and C pillars

Why not paint the pillars and use spray glue on the headlining?

Was it that ^ guide? If so it's the one I followed. Main issue I had was the A pillars trying to break (I personally will have to use some glue now when the car goes back together), but the others were okay for the most part following how the guide tells you to remove them.

 C pillars mind, that took a lot of rocking and violence because of the big metal clips that are keeping the panels on but were very firmly connected.

That guide also doesn't mention the C pillars have little square-ish nuts under the parcel shelf supports that need removing (think it's 3 per side).

Also don't be foolish like me and not realise that you just take the headling out through the boot and not try and bend it out of the side doors
