modifying parcel shelf

[beefcream]

hey all,

im looking at modifiying my current stock parcel shelf to accomodate my pioneer speaker covers. i would only have to make the whole a bit bigger to fit them in..

but was thinkin of making a custom one that looks better, is this hard to do?
is ther a guide of some form that shows you how to remove it or would i have to remove the rear seats??

thanks,
Chris

hey, i replied to your pm, and yes you do need to take the seat (or the rear windscreen) out.

Take out the rear seats.. stick your hand down behind and lift... grab the front of the seat and push it back and jiggle... it'll pop out.

There's two bolts on the floor that hold in the seatbacks, undo these and lift out the seats. then there's just a few clips and screws holding on the parcel shelf, all of them are quite obvious and once they are out the parcel shelf comes out with a bit of jiggling..

heh when your taking the baby seat bolt off with a socket wrench make sure you dont hit the window i put a nice 3cm hair line crack in my rear window $450 to replace it is the going rate not inc tint !

^^dam i would have the shits
why did you need to use a socket anyway? i would only do it up hand tight

Depends how tight the last person did it up. I wouldn't go hand tightening it if you plan to use it for its real purpose either.......
