Remove the covers over the nuts holding the grid on each side. 3. Loosen the nuts until the threads are flush with the edge of the nuts. 4. Turn the grid slightly rearward so that it is clear of the upholstery. Do not angle the grid too much as it can become wedged in place and be difficult to remove. 5. Perform the same procedure on the opposite side of the grid, and then lift the grid out of the vehicle. 04 G020766 Cargo area cover (option) G014730 The steel grid prevents cargo from being thrown forward into the passenger area in the event of sudden braking.
