Cargo Area - Interior Trim Removal Tips?

New member
Does anyone have any guides for removing the rear cargo area interior trim. I'm adding a 3rd row seat and a few upper and lower trim pieces have to be removed/replaced. I know the general rules and how to use trim prying tools but I also know it can be easy to break expensive things, or damage them so they can't be installed back to factory "tight". I did google around a bit and search here but didn't find anything. Thanks in advance!

Remove the seats, seat belts using a 14mm socket. There are 3 bolts 10mm or Phillips head on each side. Remove the strip on the floor that is between the door and cargo area by pulling. Start pulling on the trim using steady firm pressure until it pops out.

Super easy I pull the trim a couple times a year for various reasons.

Let me know if you need anything else.
