How does the trim in the back along the egde of the back window on the bottom come out?
I tryed pulling on it a bit but I wasnt sure if I was going to break the lil plastic clips or not..
And does anyone have any idea what the best way is to get the front seat belt off? I tryed by hand and the tool began to bend and seemed like it was going to break so I just stopped.

Take out the one and only screw at the top in the middle. of the plastic piece. Remove the plastic piece. Slide off the trim on the top. Slide out the corner pieces. Slide out the side pieces. Slide out the bottom corner pieces. Now work the bottom piece out. Ta Da!

If normal hand tools don't work, get a impact version of the star head socket and use either an impact gun or breaker bar to get it loose.

Use a good T50 Torx bit with a good ratchet handle - I like the 1/2" drive Craftsman handles for these tasks - use a reducer. The bolt should come off fine - there are three such bolts - one holds the retractor in place, one holds the clip at the top, and one anchors the belt to the floor inboard of the B pillar.
As for the rear window trim, Pete nailed it. One screw holds it all 'in place'.

In the back window I already got all those piece out. Right now the only ones left is the one long piece at the bottom of the window infront of the brake light and the two corner pieces.
There are lil clips that go into the triming, that go into the body of the car to hold them in place then everything slides into eachother...But that one piece at the bottom is kind of hard to get out and I dont want to break the plastic clips that are holding it in there.

Torx.... Thats what I always called them, but I wasn't sure if that was the actual name for that style of socket.
As fr that last piece, yah just kinds have to work the corner plastic out by twisting them upward and pulling back on the metal prim piece to give them room to move. I can't remember how I got to bottom piece out before, but I know I was successful in doing so. Obviously that doesn't help though.
