Rear Parcel Shelf

Post by 2011z4 »

I'm looking for a rear parcel shelf for my '85. Would like one that hasn't been hacked or is crumbling apart (like mine!). Please PM me and we can make a deal!

Thanks!

I've found that if you saturate the areas that are weak or cracked with super glue this really helps to stiffen those areas up.

Mine is in horrendous shape, I was thinking of layering it with fiberglass, anyone tried that?

In particular, the areas where the hinges are riveted have been torn. Not surprising. Big metallic part, very thin board. Anyone found a good way to avoid that in the future?

Thanks

Perfect, thank you, exactly what I had in mind. Do you recall how many layers of cloth you laid? Probably does not need many...

Sorry for the late reply Francois. I used only one layer of cloth. Didn't want to add anymore thickness than I had to. I did use two layers in spots where it was needed. I used woven cloth, not mat.

Thank you, that's exactly what I had in mind, one layer of fabric. Will start working on it. Thank you.
