Remove that torx bolt and it comes up from the floor. I don't recall exactly what type of fastener the top uses, but it's not any more complicated than the bottom once the headliner is down.

top would be 2 14mm bolts. btw that torx bolt is a pain in the butt, my torx keys dont go that big so i had to go buy a torx bit, of course all i could find was a impact torx bit. which cost $12, so i carefully used it while in the package, then returned it..lol. ill never need it again and i need my $12

T50 for the seatbelts. I just installed black ones in my Formula the other day.
You need to drop down the headliner in the back to remove the upper retractor.

Definitly need a torx bit.
But damn, 4 were one size, and 2 were another size.
It made no sense.
But...
I completely stripped one.
Where can I buy a replacment bolt for my seatbelt?
