Need help with replacing the antenna amp - '01 X5

[stoned-kik]

Hey guys, I recently upgraded my radio module to BM53 on my '01 3.0i X5. Radio reception sucked before and it sucks now too, which tells me that antenna amp needs to be looked at.
I need some help getting to it though. That cover is not easy to take off. I know it's locattion, on the driver's side in the trunk. Can anybody explain how to do that or direct me to a place where it's already explained?
Thanks

Radio module.



Anyone know how to remove that cover (I think it's called C-pillar if I'm not mistaken)?

Anyone?!? Nobody has ever replaced antenna amp or removed that cover?
Weird.

Ask Jochen on the nav forum about your radio reception. He knows all on that, also Brian. They are also on the bimmerboard.com nav forum.

Roy, thanks for your suggestions here and on the yahoo group.
I'm surprised that nobody replied on this thread answering such common question and I'm sure there's tons of people who've done this.
Just pm'ed KiwiJochen, hope he'll help.
