Default Remove coat hooks?

I figure this is as good a forum as any to ask this.

How are the little coat hooks removed from the back seat panels? I can get them to pop out a little bit, but then they catch and I can't get them past about 1/8" removed.

Use a screwdriver in the little indentation on the bottom of the part that comes out.
Carefully pry out that middle piece.
If I remember right, it's about 2½ inches long total.

Are you taking the sail panels out?

Just pry the MFer out. If they break, get new ones. If you leave them out, you will have even more rattles than before.

They are a pain to get out, try to pry them out as far as you can then pull evenly on the panel, it should come loose. If not pull harder.

I'm having speaker problems in the back seat passenger side and I need to re-run the speaker wire (the install shop didn't do a great job). If I can pull the sail panel off, it would be much easier. Plus, it would be good to know for future reference.

I know this is an old post, but after I read it to remove my hooks I found out a trick to make it easier.

After you pop the tab out enough to get a grip on it use a very thin pair of needle noses to get behind the tab. This allows for even pressure on the tab. Push and jiggle the hook while you pull the tab out. It came out pretty easy using this method.
