I've had a look but can't find anything on this subject so I'm going to ask.
I've got the rear interior cards off at the moment. I've done a bit of de-rusting and I've siliconed the Pininfarina badge legs. Whilst at it, I noticed a bit of rust behind the seatbelt pre tensioners.
Would I be wise to leave alone, or would it be the thing to remove them to sort the rust more easily?
As far as I know on the subject, You have to disconnect the battery for about half hour minimum, and I believe it's recommended to wear safety goggles. Other than this I don't know if a) I'm wise to meddle and b) if there is anything else I should be aware of.
Any help would be gratefully received

Sorry Chris, The black plastic module with the pyrotechnics in. It’s held in place with one brass coloured screw and a clip

I’m just wanting to know if it is a wise thing to remove it to deal with some rust behind it, or to work around leaving it alone. I know they’re explosive like the air bags, just wondered if anyone had played around with them and could advise

Nigel, that’s exactly what The info I was after, so really grateful to you for that. I’ll have a go at it and hopefully I’ll get the back of the car tidied up. Many thanks again Nigel

I thought that’s what girlfriends were for “Hey Donna, as soon as I’ve reconnected the battery...you can take the Coop for a spin?” No, on a serious note...that’s a top tip and thanks for that!
