Well, the other day I had some time to install a recently purchased cargo area tray/organizer. It's a factory option and requires side panels to be removed for support bracket installation. Well, I got a bit of a surprise when I removed the panels, take a look.





A little background. When I bought the van, I found some nut shells under the hood and the insulation by the firewall on the engine side looks like it's been chewed on by squirrels. None of the wiring was touched, so I just vacuumed the shell out and gave it no more thought.
Imagine what that squirrel is thinking now, "where is that damn blue box where I stored all those nuts?!"
BTW, all nuts had the shells removed, so the squirrel must be double pissed!

Here's the tray installed. Surprisingly, I had to do some minor trimming on the support rod being this was a factory kit but all in all, this cleans up the cargo area pretty well and gives me additional storage area.
