Rear Blind

[Simon13]

What i wanna know is will the cloth of my mint non blind rear shelf fit on my new shelf with a rear blind?! They look slightly different in shape, has anyone done this

I think i sort of know the answer

Will the dealer sell me some new cloth?! ETK question!

Cheers Mo Fo's

I'd be amazed if you can swap the cloths over. For a start how are you going to get it off the old one? The non-blind shelf i took out of my iS was a completely different shape to the blind shelf that replaced it. The contours are all different around the blind itself.

Good luck if you try this.

Simon,

Sorry mate, but this is a non starter

I don't believe the carpet type finish is removable from the parcel shelf. It's part of it really, rather than a covering. Certianly not available from the dealer.

As for the shape of the shelf, they changed them later in the E30's life I think. I bought a new (non blind) shelf from the dealer many years ago. It was a different shape to my original. The old one sort of curved up to the rear window, and the new one had a more square shape (like the blind shelf).

It looks like they standardised the shelf style to save having to make two different versions. If I look under my new shelf, I can see same marks that indicate where the ends of the slot would be for the blind. Infact, I have since got a blind from Sal, but not got around to cutting the slot in my shelf to fit it.

Cheers,

Ian.
