Title: Parcel shelf
Post by: Panthera on September 10, 2013, 12:16:33 pm
Afternoon all,

I need a new parcel shelf as I have broken one of the 'lugs' - don't ask.  I phoned up Mr VW and got a price for one and I was shocked at how much one is: £168.13 inc vat.  Can I do better??

Cheers

Search ebay or gumtree, always find people breaking cars on there, be careful on gumtree with sending money though!

VW would sell a hell of a lot more parts and accessories if they didn't charge rediculous prices!

Repare it yourself, i did mine. Drilled down the middle of the lug, put in a small plastic lug or bar, got a length of plastic tubing from ebay for a few penies, then fixed lug on other end bit of glue..........fixed.

Works a treat and saves on a new parcel shelf :)

Some, possible all of the R32 rear parcel shelves have a storage net on the underside - ebay is your friend :)
