   There's a bolt under the back end of the arch (the bumper bolt that holds the arch too) and a bolt behind the back door card iirc. The rest should clip off

   isnt the back door card in the inside? so i have to remove the rear seats and pull the window seals up to get to that bolt?

   Yup, but i have managed to do it by just taking the seal off and uncliping the door card (not fully) and reaching down with a spanner to undo it. but once its "cracked" you can do it by hand.
