And luckily I figured this one out quickly when removing the mechanism from the car: the white part needs to be pulled out (using a very small screwdriver as aid, or even just with fingers) to release the metal rod, which connects to the outer door-latch.

That is also a tricky one: If you want to take this connector off, the "latch" (No.6) needs to be bend back momentarily.

Detail of 2 of the 3 latches, which need to be bent to open the mechanism. Btw.: Opening the 3 bolds on the mechanism did not do anything for me.

Here are the 3 metal latches, which need to be bend back before you can take the mechanism apart, if you want. Maybe you don't have to, if you manage to glue the new "rubber stop" into position without taking the mechanism apart. I actually had to take it apart twice, as I forgot the first time 'round to re-position the micro-switch, which hangs on the second connector (see below picture with No. 6). I also had that rubber removed, which is missing here in the picture and glued it then back on

But this is the third position (3c), which should not have been possible as the plastic lever (which however broke off) would have restricted a turn of more than 90°. Thus, this is a position, which is "not possible" and the micro-switch "reads" an impossible situation, which would have confused the whole system! Hence those failures, where the remote would not open the passenger door... I needed to open the mechanism to be able to understand it. I found my own way to fix this. Obviously any att

Opening and closing the door leads to No. 1 moving No. 2 to the left and to the right. This again turn No. 3 90° to one direction and back. That was design intend. However, as a little bit of plastic, which would have restricted the 90° turn, had broken off (see last 2 pictures). No. 3 could now turn a bit more than 90°. No.3 "operates" the micro switch in the next picture, which is mounted on the other half of the mechanism.

That the upper half removed from the base. There are plenty of clips and latches, which all want to be opened, but that would not suffice. 3 metal latches (No. 5s) need to be bent open. Note No. 1...: it sits in No. 2 (see next picture).

Note the damage the O2 spanner did already on the old O2 sensor. Had I tried any longer with the O2-spanner, I guess the hex would have been buggered beyond useabilty.

Thus, I grabbed the big gun(s): Proper socket and cut off the wires... I needed the hinged wrench, which allowed me to apply a big lever in an inward angle, as the master brake cylinder would be in the way otherwise. Oh, and I applied plenty of proper penetrant spray first. Btw.: Using a 22mm spanner was not possible, as there is a bolt holding the cat onto the exhaust-manifold, which is in the way and would prevent any turn with a spanner.

And this is the base part of the gas-petal, which shows that there was no way to "pull it out" to free the carpet, as those 2 bolts were under the carpet. I unscrewed it after removing the carpet, because it was utterly rusty, and rust spreads like a cancer into neighbouring areas. I removed the rust and spray-painted it.

I cleaned both sides (upper and lower) thoroughly with a water pressure cleaner and laundry detergent (liquid). There is a lot of foam underneath (and the previous owner managed to make sure it got soaked with coffee of Cola).

...and this here is the "hole" where the rear seat clip goes thru: As you can see I can fit my hand underneath from the front (underneath, sideways). So I think once one knows that it should be possible to squeeze those wings together, which should make it a lot easier to pull the rear seat up.

At the bottom this clip holds it in place... Seriously? There is normally no way to rip this out without breaking those extra long "wings", but without them, they would still sit in their supposed location. But as you can see, somehow I got this one out without breaking those wings off. This involved the use of 1 or 2 screwdrivers and quite a bit of wiggling and bending the metal, where it sat in a bit. Note that this same clip is used for the bottom part of the rear seat...

I had tried carefully to lever out the bottom bit of the gas-pedal: No luck - as I later saw, it is bolted on, and those bolts are accessible only after the carpet is removed. Hence, what I did was the only way: I used a tool, which is for the removal of those press-in clips and used it a lever to pry the carpet over the gas-petal-base.

Now: That complete carpet is not split at the very front (the last approx. 5cm). This would mean that you would have to disassemble a whole lot more parts... or, and this makes much more sense: Use a carpet-cutter and cut the last 5cm, but do not cut your fingers...

To get better access to the connector of that wire, I pushed the coin-holder thru to the upper side, where I had batter access to the connector, so I could disconnect it easier.
