Take out the back seats. Unclip the rear pillar plastic trim enough to pull the bottom out a bit. Remove the seatbelt mech. Undo the 3 nuts on the top of the strut. Fit one of the brace mounting brackets on top. Put the nuts back on hand tight. Do other side. Fit brace bar and tighten. Torque strut nuts down to 20nm/14.5 ft-lb. Refit seatbelts, ensure they work correctly and clip trim back on/fit seats.
