Stuck removing W212 middle seatbelt

[TeddyRuxpin]

Hi,

I'm stuck removing the middle (rear) seatbelt from a W212 without rear folding seats. I'm actually retrofitting rear folding seats, which have their own seat belt.

To remove the middle belt I'm pretty sure that I need to loosen this odd bolt/cover in the boot/trunk of the car (pictured). But I don't have a tool that can get on that tiny groove, as pictured.

I've tried using pliers and I'm just chewing up the 'thread'.

Can anybody tell me how to remove that middle seat belt (or how to remove this bolt), please?

I can't find anything on any forums about it.

Cheers!

What’s on the other side of it ? (If it’s the boot space ?)

This is in the 'ceiling' of the boot. The other side of it is the belt, which is under foam/the parcel shelf.

Hang on. I've answered my own question with that pic above. On my laptop, I can see the nut that needs to be undone! When I was looking on my phone it looked like it was just a bolt.

Thank you for prodding me
