How to remove "hooks" out of drawer under the bench ?

[Gliderbee California 6.1]

Please have a look at the pictures: before I didn't really pay attention to them, but today I noticed these hooks in the drawer under the back bench.\

I have no use for these: the handle for the awning fits nicely ... Maybe they are meant for that, but I've found another easier solution in the mean time.

Anyway, how can I remove these without damaging then (since I might want to reinstall them later) ? Without these, I could fit somewhat larger boxes in the drawer.
I can see "the other side" of the hook at the left side of the drawer (second picture), but not for the two at the front ..

Thx,
Stefan.

Someone will be along in a moment to advise you. In the meantime, I’d be interested to know where you keep your awning wand?

Yeah that is exactly what they are. Without getting to the back to squeeze those tabs in it would be tricky.

Worst case scenario they are really cheap to replace

The link doesn't work, but I believe you when you say they are cheap.

Nevertheless, if I cut them, the back part would probably fall in the drawer on the "outside", between the front of the drawer itself and the front cover of the drawer ..
Knowing they are there, rattling and all ...that's a situation I can not live with mentally .

So I should be able to remove the front cover of the drawer .. I don't see how it is fixed. Anybody who knows ?

I found a link and with some AI, an explanation on how to remove the front cover. Seems quite complicated .. I'll first see if I can find boxes to make removing the hooks worthwile: if I don't find the right size, the hooks can as well stay in place.

I keep it with some hooks on the ceiling above the sliding doors for now, but I just read something here about storing it in front, at the inside under the pop top, and that might be a better idea in case of an accident ..

And it IS a better idea: I just tried to put it under the poptop, in front, and that works fine, even with the IsoTop installed.
I just need to open the hatch enough to get my hand in, and I can feel the cranck. Lifting the top 1cm is enough to get it out or in, so you don't need to repack the tent under above the hatch each time.
