Interior Trim Removal Help
Hi all. Does anyone know how to remove the trim and rear panel on the inside of the B-pillar by the rear window on my S320? I need to access the antenna splitter which is supposed to be hiding in there. There doesn't seem to be any visable screws or fasteners holding this panel on. Before I start prying, breaking parts, etc. I am turning to the collective wisdom of this group. Thanks for your help.

Russell, Thanks for the quick reply!
One more question, though. Do you know where that screw #1 is located? It isn't clear to me in the drawing. Thanks again. AJ |

AJ,
The references to the numbers are to the respective "thumb nail photos" listed at the bottom of the post replies. If you will click on the photos, you will see the associated numbers. All photos are in order with the directions above.

Thanks Russell, I know that and enlarged and printed the photo, but the location of the screw is confusing. Do you know if the seat back has to be removed first? AJ |

AJ,
Yes, if you are removing C-Pillar (next to the rear window) you will need to remove the rear seats. Are you removing C-pillar or B-pillar (mid section of car)? Russell

Russell, I am attempting to remove the C-pillar panel. Sorry for the confusion. I am told that the antenna splitter lives in there. Thanks again for all of your help! BTW, do you know of any trick to remove the seat back? The lower seat (horozontal part) seems straightforward enough. AJ |
