    I am a company driver and this week I just got issued a brand new '15 T-680. Let me start off by saying that I love this truck. Compared to the Volvo that I was in before, this thing is like a Cadillac. The ride is great and ergonomics couldn't be better. Overall, the design and execution of drivers' comfort is first rate.

    The only problem that I have is with the closet behind the drivers seat. There is a shelf in the closet right in the middle preventing me from using the clothes rack without folding my hanging clothes. They can't hang all the way down as they should. I've briefly looked for a way to remove this shelf so I can properly hang my clothes, but I can't see a way to do it without breaking the seemingly permanent plastic clips that attach to the inner walls of the closet. This being a company truck, I don't want to break anything, as I am expected to return the truck in the same condition as I received it.

    Is there a way to remove this shelf without causing permanent damage?

    Thanks in advance for any feedback/advice/tips.

    GOT IT..
    There's a screw on top on the left. Be sure it's out. Then just bump the left side with your hand from the bottom going up. Kinda hard. There's little round pegs that'll pop out of the little holes. Viola! It's out. No damage!
    Now I can hang my clothes!! Woohoo
