To remove the front seatbelt of the Audi A3, you need to take off the entire pillar cover by lifting it with a lever tool. This will allow you to loosen the anchor located at the bottom of the seatbelt by unscrewing the corresponding fixing bolt.

This will also enable you to extract the mechanism, which is also located at the bottom of the seatbelt. The last part to remove will be the anchor at the top: to do this, you will need to loosen the corresponding bolts.

Once all parts are removed, you can replace the seatbelts.
