Remove the rear seperator panel that sits on top of the bins, unbolt the two rear bolts/screws(one on each side) in the center console, remove all the clips/screws holding the rear side panels in, and then unbolt your bins and remove. It's not hard. Just think about what has to come out first.

I already have one out if you need me to weigh it, if you're serious I'll weigh it, no problem.

I just tried, it was kinda hard. Do I have to remove the side panels??? I tried to remove them and at the very top of the panel, it felt glued down. Im scared to man handle it becuase I dont want to brake anything(you know how plastic interior is).

I believe the side panels might have some kind of locking snaps on the underside that may just pull apart. It's been a while since I've took mine out so I'm not sure how the top attaches. All I know is to make sure all the clips/screws are out of the side panels, oh and I didn't remove my side panels all the way when I pulled mine out. Or should I say I removed them from where they were but didn't fully remove them from the car because I believe the seatbelts go through them. Also you might want to pull back the weatherstriping on the door if you haven't already done so.

It has the same tiny little snaps that the center console has. just pull on it firmly dont yank it and it should pop out. if you are worried about breaking the snaps just go slow and use a flashlight and a long screwdriver to go in and push out directly at the snap if you do that it comes out really easy.
