Hi I'm after a bit of help.

The Mrs' Fabia had the issue of leaking door carrier seals.

No i've sorted that thanks to the guide on here but now i'm wanting to get the rear carpets up to get rid of excess water left behind as we cant fully get the car moisture free.

Problem i'm having is getting off the trim covers on the B-pillar's so I can get to the carpet.

I've removed the seat belt outer clip but I cant free off the trim. I have a set of trim removal tools but it just feels like I'm going to snap something when I'm trying to get it off. Is there a certain trick to getting theses damn things off?

Any help much appreciated.

It's in two parts. The top part is easy, pull from the top. The bottom part I have difficulty with and always seem to manage to break it. They don't cost much more than £10 from a dealer.
