Rear parcel shelf pt1

Like most 7s the rear self vinyl has blown in the corners, and mine also has some small cutouts where I had fitted internal fog lights.

The donor cars self had completely blown across the 2 section compartment, so I decided to remove and recover this one as mine only has a couple of corners blown.

Started by removing the remaining vinyl. The pressed card construction is fairly wobbly and around the fixing holes the card had become distorted.

To add some strength and straighten the lower and top fixing edges, I used a couple of layers of glass fibre clamping in place while setting. After I cleaned up with sanding disk and removed any high points.

On the lower edge I used some body filler the flatten out a couple of depressions and then give it a coat of paint the seal it which should help when sticking the new vinyl.

I need to source some black vinyl covering with enough stretch to allow me into the corners.
