NO Kidding this was no easy job.... I just cut mine out today and I got 3+ hours in it...... Man that was not what I consider a fun Sat. afternoon. I used a die grinder and a nematic sawzaw/ jig saw that had small blades. I had to end up cutting the cooler into pieces to get it out. Like C.A. said the corners or ridiculous to get the saws in there. Good Luck. Let us know how it goes...

i would love to have mine gone, but i'm on the fence as i know it is a monstrous pain in the @ss ...

Mine was partially carpeted on the front side. That was not a huge deal. The issue was the foam on the side of the cooler where the bow cushion goes. I had to pry it apart, and getting the corners cut. I was also going to bring it out through the kick panel but the PO installed a heater behind the kick panel and there wasn't enough room. So I had to cut it into sections.... FUN!!! Here is the leftovers....

What is the reason to cutting them out?

for those that have already done it ... what would you say is the ideal saw or tool for the job, in hindsight? not what you did use, but what you would rather use if you had to do it again? it's been my experience that there is usually a better way, but it can only be identified after i've done it the hard way, haha

From what I have read, a oscillating tool such as a fein seems to be your best bet for control, dust and itchiness haha

I used a Ridgid "Jobmax" when I cut the floor out for my battery install project and it worked really well. Only complaint I had was mine is the battery powered model and required 2 batteries to continue cutting without breaks in between.
