Remove the B-pillar trim.

Start at the bottom, there are two phillips screws to remove (pic 1).

Next remove the inner weather-strip by pulling inward, from the front of the sill-plate around to about mid-seatback.

The B-pillar trim has two clips half-way up, pop them free. The upper end of the B-pillar trim is held by a single clip, released by carefully pushing the trim downward and pulling the top of the trim away from the B-pillar. Do this carefully with the later (plastic) trim piece or you'll break the plastic holding the clip. Play out some seatbelt and lay the trim down toward the center of the car, crossing the two pieces on the floor (left and right piece).

Next comes the C-pillar trim or "sail panels". These are tricky, three clips along the front edge. I started at the top. Push the front edge rearward to release the hook of the clip and pull away from the C-pillar, one clip at a time and gently. These are easy to break so don't force it away from the car, push rearward until each clip releases (pic 2).

Once all three of these clips are free, you can slide the panel forward until the rear (metal) clip releases (pic 3) and the panel can be pulled away from the C-pillar as you slide it the rest of the way out of the seatback.

Now remove the rear overhead light. Slide a thin-blade screwdriver into the (car's right) right side of the lamp assembly, pressing inward to release the clip and swing it down and out (pic 4). Unplug and remove.

Above the light assembly there is a bracket with a single screw, remove the screw (pic 5).
