Any work manual how to remove them. Somebody here must have done it.

Official source for the workshop manuals is here: https://erwin.skoda-auto.cz/erwin/

 

At least on my hatch, it just pulls off...

There is a very long guide on here somewhere for installing a tow bar. Screen shot of c pillar being removed. Any use?

Thank you. 

That is on the hatch, on the estate it looks different.

@SashaGrace has removed more trim than anyone else i know

Need to remove the trim or airbag around the rear seat, then you can get in and remove the C pillar trim. Can I ask why you need to remove it? If it’s routing a camera wire, there are much more effective routes to take.

The airbags are only under the headliner i think. I dislodged it when i was routing the cable around airbags under the headliner. I managed to strech the clip that  is holding it in place. You can see a photo in rear view camera thread. If i knew it is such a pain to put it back in place i wouldn't touch it. 

So do i need to remove d pillar and boot cover  trim (the one between c and d pillar)

To get full access you need to remove the D pillar trim (just pulls off? Remove the hooks on the boot sides, remove the rear seat cables from the handles, remove the screws from behind the D pillar and load cover, remove the tie down points and boot light, remove the load lip trim by unscrewing the Torx fixings below floor level then pull it off, remove the side carpet or at least pull it out of the way and then fold the seat down and pull the side trim away but tbh if you can get your hands around it without removing that it’ll be easier.

That is a lot of work. 

Will see how it goes. 

Thank you for instructions.
