If its anything like a W202, it will be a case of removing the C-Pillar trim, the rear seats, the high level brakelight.

Then it should pull out.

Thanks for the speedy reply! I believe the C-Pillar trims do need to come off, but unsure how to remove them without breaking the clips. I wonder if there is a trick!

They will be held on tight with Metal clips (this was before plastic cost cutting!) - they will fly off at great speed, or bend. Putting it back together will be the hard part

You will also need to disconnect the rear headrests dont forget!

May I ask what you are doing? Speaker upgrade?

I shall give this a try.

I had air suspension fitted and during the process it seems like one of the speaker cables has shorted (the compressor was mounted under the parcel shelf in the boot) and therefore none work. So I need to remove the parcel shelf to check the wires.
