rear parcel shelf removal

[Lethal_Locky]

hey guys.

i'm putting rear speaker in, and i'm 'trying' to make a custom rear parcel shelf.

just wondering how the rear parcel shelf is removed (the board with carpet on it where your're speakers go). I had a quick go at it but it looked like it was going to break and i'm not one to force things if i don't know exactly how it works. do you have to removed the back seats? If so, whats the best way to removed the back seat?

any help will be appreciated.

Yes remove the back seats. The bottom part of the seat has a couple of bolts that need to be taken out then grab each end of the seat about 300mm from each end and give it a swift hard yank, this will unlock the two clips under there. There are two more bolts for the back part of the seat, take these out then remove seat. The rear shelf, from memory, then just lifts out. You need to press the two ends though as the plastic quarter interior trims are keyed into the parcel shelf. Just watch those, it took me ages to work it out.

to remove the rear seat, at the bottom of the seat, there shd be, wait let me rephrase. There WILL be 2 bolts on the bottom of the bench rear seat. Remove these.

Then at the end of the seat try to seperate the bench from the backrest. there she be a metal bar htere...just stick yr hand in and pull out that side first. and then once the back of the seat is out frm behind the backrest, just YANK will all yr might and the seat shall come out. there is a clasp. thats why.

then the back rest...on the left and right side, there shd be screw each with a metal bar there holding the backrest of the seat. unscrew it. and then push the backrest upwards to unhook it. and it shall come off. force it if u might. nothing will break

all are metal.

and then the rear shelf. there shd be some bolts holding the compliance installed baby seat anchor points.. remove those as in some cars ive seen, those are also holding the parcel shelf altho thats not the case in mine.

from there, just pull the parcel shelf upwards and towards you as there are clips. similar to those holding your door panel in place.

watch out for e side pillars tho.

hope this is of some help!
