Parcel shelf removal help needed?

[jamiecarpenter]

The Z is going into the garage on tuesday for the roof latch to be repaired. Was looking at the parcel shelf yesterday when I noticed it doesnt seem to be holding its height in the middle of the shelf as it should do? So was looking to see how I can remove the shelf to take a look and see if there's any problems. However I havent got a clue how you do this and cant find anything on the forum. So has anyone done it, or had the same problem? If so could you give us a few pointers?

Hi, I did this a few months back when I fixed my roof motor...as far as I remember there are 4 litle clips (square with four legs) two each side at the hinge points of the shelf, push them up from underneath(boot area) and then from inside the car pull them up and keep them safe.
Than seperate the hinges from each other...it'll make sense when you do it !!

Next you have to remove the fabric that attaches to the parcel shelf, it just pulls out ...hard to explain , almost like a jiffy bag set up ! then remove the shelf, be careful putting it back in it's very easy to damage the micro switch mechanism at the forward end of the shelf !! hope this helps
