How do you remove the rear seat storage box?
Hi all. I'm trying to replace the storage box (the one that sits between the rear seats and has the wood roll-up lid) in my CL. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the old one out of the car. There are two tabs on each side that I've gotten loose from the floor, but the box is being held in at the very rear. Anybody know the magic words?

Ok, so I got it after a couple hours of fiddling. At the bottom rear if you feel around you will find a little hole in the side of the frame on which the storage box is mounted. If you stick a pick in there at just the right angle, it depresses the clip holding the box in at the rear. There is one on each side.

You are correct. You need to use a drift punch to release those clips. Took me a long time to figure that out too years ago.
