avant parcel shelf/cover

[Leaky Lloyd]

ahdo people

the rear parcel shelf cover on my avant has the tendancy to flip back at a rate of knots when i go over speed bumps and stuff,,is there out i can do to sort this????

 

[crazy88]

I'd be interested to know as mine occasdionally does it too. Generally it's fine though.

Anyone?

 

[scott b]

If you put an 1" of heat shrink tubing with glue inside ( electrical wholesalers should stock ) and heatshrink it on to the tabs of the roller and before it fully cools down and the glue sets put the roller into position and just push it a little into the slots to mold the glue/heatshrink. I haven't and a problem since

I too got these from Audi as it too did my head in with the cover constantly opening going over speed bumps one of lifes little niggles but well worth buying and installing works a treat.

 

[blacktar]

Cheers lads got the full kit from audi yesterday inc the 2 screw's needed. Great job

 

[T0m]

Two screws? I just unscrewed the existing screws and used those.

 

[blacktar]

There was 2 in the kit. Could be same not sure just used them anyways. Was there some in your kit?

 

[T0m]

Don't remember any being in mine fella, but saying that it was a while ago that I did this!
