Cali Raised Interior Window Molle Panels and Overhead Tray installed in cargo area

[micahlock]

Has anyone installed the middle tray in the hybrid? I've got both trays on my 5th Gen, but the raised load floor in the hybrid makes me wonder if there will be all the much room underneath it.

I have the middle tray but am waiting until we are stroller free to install. I agree it's a little tight with the raised cargo area due to hybrid batteries.

Did you ever get this installed? I am curious to know the height difference between the hybrid floor and the bottom of this tray.

@micahlock do you recall the hardware used to mount this? I just got the panels and the online video instruction they have seems to gloss over a few steps. I am seeing four bolts (two longer, two shorter) plus four spacers (two longer, two shorter) but their installation video only shows three mounting spots and that including the thicker screw that goes at the very top. So it seems like there are two extra bolts and spacers. Am I missing something?

Wow, that was a year ago.

I remember using a ratchet wrench with an allen key and a wrench for the panels.

For mounting I remember using use the bolts already holding things in place in the rear compartment. It will make sense once you start as you have to unscrew a couple of things and you use those same screws.

I never got middle tray installed as its too low for my needs right now. I did give feedback to Cali Raised and they briefly discussed creating a Hybrid model with the screws higher to account for the Hybrid Batteries.

I got this installed and pretty pleased overall. The middle tray is fairly low, but there are two sets of mounting points and this is installed on the lowest one. I also only used two of the three points and shifted the whole tray forward.

I like the Cali Raised trays, but install video is somewhat spotty and be prepared to have some parts left over. Mine came with two options for the top bolt- a plastic insert and a large screw and a nutsert with a machine screw.... of course, the nutsert was in the middle tray box which I opened after the sides and top tray were installed. No way I was removing it to swap the hardware, but I've got it if I ever.

All in all, pretty clean install. Also, put on the Redline hood struts. They came with zero directions, but it's pretty easy to figure out from the photos on Cali Raised which puzzle piece goes where.
