Cargo area storage baskets removal.

[rockfish]

Has anyone had any success at removing the small side storage baskets in the cargo area under the side windows? I've pried quite hard out and up without luck so far. I'd rather not rip them off in pieces yet, any help would be appreciated.

you should remove the entire trim panel and access the back side
attacking from the front I am not sure it's doable but will require specialized
trim tools and high chance of breakage

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it today in warmer weather, above freezing, with a forked pry tool and finally got one fastener popped out and then all the rest (3). No harm to little bin/baskets and will push back in if needed.

I'm also looking for options.

Please post pics!

First the little top rail pulls out straight away from the side. Then the part that things sit in prys up but work around the seam using wide plastic pry tool. I started on cargo area side and had to open 2nd row door to get that corner free.

Mostly curious, why did you want to remove those?

In my case I'm putting a light duty shelf across the top of the larger bins and wanted to get back as far as possible from the outer edge of the main storage bins for a little stronger support. Coolers and heavy items below and lighter items above. The little top baskets blocked part of that outer edge where the cross bars for the shelf will land.
