Anyone - Vr Parcel shelf into a VP

[calais_cruzin]

Hey all

MY sub broke my window tail light, was thinkin about puttin a VR one in there as they look better with the brake light hidden slightly under the shelf.

Has anyone actually tried to put one in there VN/VP b4.

Many complications in doin this, looks like it would all fit right.

Thanks for input

i wouldn't think it would as the vn,vp parcel shelf in flat were as the vr-vs one is raised in places but im sure u could pick one up cheap so just have a go i guess

[calais_cruzin]

yeah i got one cheap, im sure the under shelf is the same, only difference is the speakers are in a different posy so i will have to put in a plate to mount them on.

Im just not sure if the mount for the brake light will be there for the new light as VP's have a plate on the top of the shelf to bolt the brake light to, where as VR the light bolts ono the plate then teh shelf goes over the top of it.

Should get a retractable 3point belt like VR's have soo there isnt a big hole where the belt would have run normally.

Im sure i saw in my ride sumone with one but looked around today n couldnt find it anywhere.

With the extra hole just patch it up and recarpet it, would look good after that.

My VP came with a VR one in it when I bought it it was bodged up with some panel from a vr under the shelf anyway I hated it so it went and I got myself a mint VP one

It fits, but it's about an inch too short. Get the VR brake light and bracket as well. jam the bracket over the metal like how the VR is done. Or glue to parcel shelf. Then all other clips line up and go in.

Also the brake light globe holder won't fit into the VR light. Not without a bit of force anyway...

well there u go i was wrong:P gd luk show us pics if u do end up doing it

[calais_cruzin]

yea i grabbed the globe holder 2 just have to solder it in.

Spose ill just rip it out see how she sits in there, i just hate hte vp brake light, keep braking there mounts...damm vibrations...

Figured it wouldn't be too hard to do just have to pull it out n see.

Stockies, what bracket are u referring 2, the one that the light bolts to?? being too short. if it is ill just make a slight extension bracket for it

Thanks for all the input, any more hints would be good too

cheers

[stockies]

The whole parcel shelf is about an inch too short. leaves a gap between the shelf and window. If the windows are tinted tho, you won't notice.

[greenfoam]

Mine definatly had no gap, but if yours did I surely have no idea why mine didn't

[h0Ld3n`VN]

stockies is right.. my vr parcel shelf was n inch short too !

[greenfoam]

Seems my VP is an inch shorter than all you guys VNs lol

[calais_cruzin]

Cool cool, i figure sumfink out there with the gap, prob good wont vibrate ont eh window. But who knows mite be like foam's n fit perfect.

Cheers all, ill let use know how she goes once i do it, prob be this w.e

Just gotta work out how im goin to mount my speakers, hopfully its deep enough where the holes in the new shelf are.

[<RaBBiT>]

u can always make a spacer for the speakers i guess, but yeah i thought the vr one wouldn't fit right lol hope it works out well for ya

[calais_cruzin]

Well turned out to be a inch too short....

Also the brank light holder was the same, soo the globes fitted in the light, but not the shelf.

Goin to get sum ply n extend it a lil coz hte VR one look alot better in there, light all nice n hidden nicer carpet just gotta work out what im goin to do with the speakers not being bolted down to the metal shelf, i dont want to get that wicked shelf rattle, but ill work sumfink out sum nice reinforcing under it all.

Mite jsut cut the vr shelfs front off n glue it to my shelf so it sits right. I duno yet gotta do sum thinkin what i should do.

Cheers for everyones input.

well are u gonna put the middle set belt to an ove thew shoulder one?

[calais_cruzin]

Probly not because there are no mounts to put it on, soo more stuffin around for just a seat belt, and ive always got my middle pulled down n with a 3point belt there i cant just reach back n pull it down easily, i would have to move it to a side, soo nah not goin to bother with it.

[Cobez]

I slid a VS Parcelshelf straight into my old VP. No hassles whatsoever.

[calais_cruzin]

As in put it over the orig one, or did u just happen to have one of these "short VP's" that VR shelfs fit perfectly into, no hassles

[Cobez]

I have no idea. But my original VP one was broken, so i picked up a VS one for $5 and it slotted in. But, it has a plastic edged hole in it, which was for the middle seat belt in the VS's. Slotted and clipped in perfect.

[calais_cruzin]

hmm sounds the same as mine, but mine is a bit short.

Thinkin glueing it to my shelf thats already in there is goin to be the easiest way to get it in

[greenfoam]

Why wasn't mine and cobez's short? whats going on here

[calais_cruzin]

??? Who knows, i should have had a better look at what it came out of it was red n it was either a vr could have been a vs, there wouldnt be a difference between VS n VR would there??

[greenfoam]

You wouldn't think so but there seems more to this than meets the one inch sort eye
