Saloon Parcel Shelf

FantasticMrFish · 16th April 2021, 12:18

Looking for a little help removing my parcel shelf.

I've followed the old guides and no joy.

Big difference is no 10mm nuts under the shelf in the boot. Seems to be a bolt coming down from the side of the shelf and they are not moving a mm.

Driving me insane, been on 2 hours now.

What I have done. All the trim under the back seats removed, seatbelt anchor bolt out and bottom of seat removed. (Just as well as it was drenched from somewhere. I'm guessing it's wicked through from the boot)

Can't find anything else to remove except firtrees which aren't budging no matter how hard I pull.

Cheers

Are you trying to remove the plastic shelf parts from the metal body panel?

Yes I was. Managed to get it off after I posed this. Someone is the last had bodged it with a cable tie and a strange bracket, managed to break the bracket so I could at least get it out.

Tap the fir tress with a mallet from underneath?
