Rear shelf removal

this has been asked just about two weeks ago,do a search and you'll find it

 

There are a couple of 8mm (if my memory serves) nuts holding studs connected to the shelf panels. Go through the engine compartment to get under the shelf.

Lars...

I have just had my rear shelf covered in leather...

The answer is more than likely yes as the parcel shelf has pot rivets holding it in place, I had to remove the rear vents first, then the glass pops out... it should be toughened glass so dont worry about breakage, but ensure some one is there to catch if you need to push hard!

You can then drill the rivets outs... (be careful on the paint work)

I assume that you have got to the 3 nuts in the engine bay?

Are you doing the upper shelf? if so you just need to drill out the rivets when the glass is out... nothing else holding it up except the targa top catches...

I have a GTB. From where can I buy the rubber seals for the quater windows.?

 

Very, VERY NICE !!!!

 

nice job,so it wasn't that hard to do,and where did you get the materal?

 

Seems you have or had a leak from the windoe seals. I have same problem with my GTB. Did you solve the leak problem, and from where was it coming?.

I asked if someone can direct me from where I can find brand new seals. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

PS: Beautiful shelf.

 

Would be interested in the new seals too. So far, Ricambi and T Rutlands have produced other seals for me.

Mine has essentially the same stained area (GTS). I having the parts - in fact the entire interior - removed for pick up this weekend. (Too much cleaning to perform in place.) I'm sadly (gulp, admitting to the Fcar public) contemplating a synthetic/vinyl that looks almost identical to my tan interior back there, plus a small 'lip' so I could actually USE it like a parcel shelf. These posts are quite inspiring; appreciative of the work, write ups and photos.

 

I was able to use my Dremel on the pop rivets so I did not have to remove the vents and glass.

 

I just had mine done in a Black german vinyl, to match the dashboard and armrests. the leather would shrink soon or later in the florida sun.

Dom,
What do you mean by "German" vinyl?
I've been wanting to do this to my 328 GTS and am concerned about doing it in leather.
Thanks,
Will

PS.it looks great!

 

Thanks, Made in Germany, very good quality, most of the top, fabric materials is made there.Any upholstery shop should have it.

 

Do you have a Euro car? On the US QV the heat shield makes it all but impossible to get at the center deck clip. I'd love to know how do this without getting the shield out (and removing gas lines, etc)

 

I've got a rattle somewhere in the area of the rear shelf. I've been wondering how to romove the shelf to see what's rattling under there. Thanks.

 

Nice job Lars...

Are you doing the roof?

 

Thanks, that is next on my list, as soon as the car gets back from the fire damage. So far the steel lines have been replaced but there is a burnt wire that still needs to be replaced. When get the car back I'll take some photos for everyone.

Good job on the package tray. At the moment the only think on my package tray besides dust is a little teddy bear.

 

9 years later, but I have a question.
I read there are 6 bolts that need to be removed together with the seatbelt.
Where are those 6 bolts located? All in the engine compartment or hidden somewhere else?

I have a rattle on one side (passenger side close to the window) of the rear shelf. Is it possible to only remove one side maybe?
