Rear Bin Removal?

Anyone know how to go about removing the rear bins? I need to get to the rear ABS sensor connector that is under them to replace them. I did a search but did not see anything on rear bin removal....

There are some kind of tab things on the bottom fronts facing towards the center of the back side of the seats. They will break off if you just yank them out. When you start to pull them out and feel it stuck then try to trace where it's stuck and look for the tabs. You may need a screwdriver, can't remember.

Thanks for you help guys. I was looking for where the screws are located in the FSMs but could not find an illustration. Can you tell me where the screws are?

Bin removal and Rear ABS sensor replacement

Wow! That was PITA to remove those bins.
In order to remove them you need to do the following:

1. Remove the door sills and the weather strip seal around the doors. (see pic)
2. Remove the side plastic with where the seatbelt comes out of. There are numerous plastic expansion rivets and several metal clips that the piece snaps into on the body. (see pic)
3. Remove the center console around the shifter and loosen the the trans tunnel.
4. Remove the nuts that the bins held down with under the trunk area carpet.
5. Remove the bolts on the tab behind the seats. Note there are metal snap in clips that hold this in closer to the doors. (see pic)
6. At this point you can remove the bins.
7. Under the sound absorbant pad between the bins and the floorpan is where you will find the clip that connect the rear ABS sensor. (see pic)
8. Pop the plastic circle that seals the sensor wire from the outside the car by pushing it down from the inside of the car.
9. Remove the tire and 10 mm bolt holding the sensor near

That metal clip has a tab that goes through the middle of the plastic tab. I doubt you can remove it with the bins in place.

I would pull straight up on the bins at each of the metal clips. Be careful hose tabs are delicate.

The clip has 2 stepped springs that need to be pushed in then pull gently up on the bins and the plastic tab will slide out

(i mangled one of the stepped springs as you can see)

your clips look different than mine....maybe they changed. My set of bins are in a 95. I also have a brand new set of bins, the clips look different from yours on the new set too. Perhaps, Mazda changed them.

My car is a '95 too.

IIRC it is number 254 or thereabouts. I read that there were 2 "runs" of the cars imported in '95, with a delay between them. Wondering if maybe they switched the clips between runs? Mine would have been from the earlier run, i think.
