Thought I would try a replacement Parcel Shelf for my VH, the old one was 29 y.o. and falling apart. Bought some Pioneer Champion Series 6x9 and they weigh 2.5kg each !!! So out with the the old shelf.
Luckily the magnets just fit in the steel Holes. I used 12mm MDF, I wouldn't go any thicker, as it fits snuggly under your window rubber, is still strong enough and doesnt get in the way for the rear seat.
I used some Carpet underlay (new) instead of foam. Foam would probably give a more even result at the edges. It still turned out pretty good though.
The seatbelt holes were a bit painful, however I am happy how they have turned out considering.
I found some fake suede from Spotlight and used this to cover it all. If you have access to a Air Stapler, makes it a hell of a lot easier to cover the shelf. I had to use some spacers to lift up the speakers to keep the terminals off the steel body.
Just wondering if anyone had done something similar ... or had any different ideas?
