the back ones, ive no pictures but i can describe it.
Take the rear seat base out
take the parcel shelf out,
remove the bolts on the bottom
remove the bolts at the top under the parcel shelf
rattle the seat belt reeler, and it will come out

As for the front ones i havent removed them but i almost did, there is a bolt at the bottom where the belt anchors, then pull off the b pillar surround and youlle see the bolt for the reel take it out also.
Bon apetit your belts are out, keep the battery out when taking out the front ones, i know my dad took the belts out of a corolla he owned and it flashed up a warning light, so its an easy precaution.
I need to change these belts in my car, cream ones get caught in the edoor, but worse than that at the moment with this work getting done on the zuki my hands need to be 1000000% clean otherwise the oil gets all over them.

you could perhaps just spray the parcel shelf black, i seen it done on wheeler dealers for a 205 gti, worked quite well.

I think our Gary has had quite enough of sprays for the time being...

a parcel shelf isnt an expensive item, you could esaily get yourself a nice exec one with the storage box, and rear blind.
