Removal of front seat belts - side trim ?

I am in the process of totally removing the seatbelts from my car as I no longer need them - I have proper 4 point harnesses so I'd like to save a bit of weight (all be it not very much).

removing the floor based fixtures is not a problem - 2 x 14mm bolts and hey presto. Removing the fixing from the b-pillar is also another 14mm bolt - and then removing the actual belt intertia locking mechanism is another 2 x 14mm bolts.

The question I have is how do I get the seatbelt itself through the side trim where it normally comes through into the interior ? I can obviously cut the side trim with a small blade and feed the belt through but I would prefer not to do this in case the parts are useful to somebody in the future.
