How do i unplug them so they dont go off when i take my front seats out?
Im taking the two torx bolts out at the back and lifting all teh subframe out, but how do i stop the pretensioners from going off?

Yeah you will need to take off the trim around the seats otherwise chances are you will snap the trim.
You can buy a special tool to get the clips off that hold the window winders on.
Think I just got a pair of thin pliers and used them to force it off. Pain in the arse

get a rag or something and put it behind the winder, then start pulling it side to side. *ping* it will pop off!
If it doesnt just move the rag around the winder abit more and try again

Its a cir clip (think thats what its called)
You have to prise it open at the same time as pushing it.
If you push the door card in a bit (has a bit of flex to it) then look down directly behind the wiper handle you will be able to see the clip...
