UK 2008 W204 C180K Estate Rear Side Seat Restraints?!

Hi, I need help - I am trying to replace the rear side seat belts in my UK 2008 W204 C180K Estate and I just can't figure out how to get to the fixings :-(

Have removed all the trim and just can't see what hold it into its cradle on each side for removal to take place. I am faced with a metal frame and no way that I can see of getting in.

What's the clue guys am stuck. Have searched for videos and diagrams online but there is nothing. Hope anyone can help me.

I am not sure how different your car is from a 2013 C220 (W204). I've removed the rear left seat belt.
Follow the attached instructions to remove the C-pillar trim.
Seat belt mechanism is held with one thick bolt behind the c-pillar trim.

Hi yes thanks for that, I have used that to remove the trim, the problem I am having is once I have it all exposed, and I am not sure if its different for the estate model, I can't get to the actual belt/restraint assembly. Its kinda in its own frame and I can't work out what bit moves to allow access - there's obviously a bolt or something somewhere but just can't work it out :-(

Any ideas, driving me crazy.
