The side door rear rail (the one embedded into the rear panel above the wheel), is coming loose.

There is some movement in the rail when closing the door.
There's no outward facing bolts/fixings (a small plastic cover to the rear of the rail reveals nothing and the one visible bolt inside the door space is tight), so from googling I see that the rail has bolts fitted to the back of the rail and so the bolts are inside the van behind the trim.

Has anyone ever had this problem and fixed it?
Any advice on which trim panels on the inside to remove (sequence?) would be appreciated.
I can imagine this is going to be quite a faff to reach these bolts for a quick tighten!

Cheers!

Funnily enough, the bolt number two in the square above, is missing on mine - there's no hole in the bodywork to take one...
It can only be held by the others marked, and they're the internal ones.
I'm more wondering how much of the internal trim i'm going to have to take out to get to them.
...or the least amount of it i can get away with...
