Removing rear quarter panel trim

I need to remove all the plastic trim from inside the rear quarter panel. So the part that houses the rear seat belt downwards that meets the rear door at the side of the seat.

Anyone got any diagrams of where the clips are as I am always wary about forcing these types of plastic trim?

Remove the rear wheel well trim from the back first. It is easier that way

If I were you, I would check RealOEM first, and then use ISTA if further guidance is needed.

Cheers, that looks like the info I need.

It is creaking and is very annoying. Definitely much more movement in it than the other side. Want to pull it all apart and put back together again!

Hopefully, replacing the clips will help. If not, probably adding some foam or tape might stop the creaking sound... the problem is to identify where it's coming from, haha. Best of luck!
