Im trying to remove the carpet in my panda. Im unsure the best way of removing the plastic cover holding the rear seatbelt bolt in place. Are there any tips, to avoid me breaking it, or do you need a special trim removal tool (which I dont have).
Thanks

Possibly worth buying one of the inexpensive sets that are advertised in all the usual places?

You can also make your own purpose shaped trim removal tools by cutting up an old credit card. I make a point of saving these, especially the ones without embossing.

Warm weather also helps, which is handy just now.

Be careful when unscrewing any bolts which go through to the exterior of the bodyshell, the end threads corrode, and folks quite frequently report these shearing off when attempting to remove them. Take particular care with the ones securing the seat belts.
