Late 90's? I butchered my first parcel shelf in 1987.

I was rocking a couple of these bad boys on my speaker shelf before that......

^^^ Same. In the back of my Capri  :grin:

The back window got smashed and a set got stolen but it didn't stop me replacing them with the newer version  :laugh:

Did you replace the back window Stevie or just ride round with a bit of see through plastic bag over the hole?!!  :grin:



Now here's a pressing question that's been bugging me for all of the five seconds since I thought of it - does the Golf Estate/Variant/ugly thing for people with dogs have a parcel shelf too?
Obviously it would have to be a very large one but I just wondered how noisy the car would be without one in general use.



It's funny how VW have re-thought the parcel shelf attachment in recent models as they used to slide into their holders by pushing forwards but now they pop in from above.
I was rudely reminded of that when loading my old Ibiza Cupra with crap from my attic to do down to the dump which was too dusty to go near my lovely new Golf (at the time). I gave the parcel shelf a gentle tap from below and it didn't move, so I gave it a harder bang thinking it was just old and settled into place. On the second bang from below two plastic holders attached to the side (speaker) trim panels then flew into orbit never to be seen again...
Yep, the old car's shelf needed to be slid out of position  :rolleyes:

Clear polythene for a while  :grin:  And until I got the new parcel shelf speakers, I had 2 full size hifi speakers sitting in the back seat pumping out the sounds from my Goodmans head unit  :laugh: :laugh:

Now if you had an Autoplas louvered rear window cover...
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.
