It's easy - the panel that covers the alarm sensors flips down. Under there, you will find 2 torx screws.

Just undo those, and the whole panel comes down.

Just behind the flip down sunglasses compartment - you should see the sensors.

You need either long fingernails or a plastic tool (so you don't scratch anything) - just gently prise the sensor cover down - gently now!!

Don't try to prise the sensors themselves, it's the plastic cover over them.

Looking from the back seats, the cover has 2 hinges at the back of it (hidden from view until you release the front clips of the panel) - to release the front clips, just work something plastic In between the panel and sensors.

Note - if you're trying to prise anything at the roof lining, you're in the wrong place.
