KTI 0 Posted March 13, 2021 Hi! So I'm probably not going to put the oval speakers there and I would like to cover the holes. Has someone done it- put on a new clothing or smth? For the life of me I can't seem to figure out how the metal support things come off so I could rip the cover off.. there's no screws and doesn't seem to be clued on too..🤔 Maybe someone has changed the cover and knows. Could not find any thread about it tho. Thanks in advance! 😊 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 32 Posted March 13, 2021 Ah, a nasty hacker has been at your parcel shelf! It's not even like it's a Mk2 one that is easily got. I can't really help - the fabric must be glued on somehow - and it's some kind of fibre board, heavier than the Golf shelves. Is that a standard shelf apart from the cut-outs for the speakers - I can't recall the "humps" being that large. You'd need to fill the gaps as well - it might be worth asking if anyone who wants to mount speakers there wants to swap or getting one off a parts car....

Dox 23 Posted March 13, 2021 Used can fetch up to £300 for one in VGC. If it was me I'd make 2 rectangular grills to cover the top with speaker type material (not trying for an exact match) and Velcro them in place Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KTI 0 Posted March 13, 2021 This is a good idea, to do grill covers. Printed with 3D machine for example.. Then I thought that I could use some speaker covers (without speakers), but I would prefer a cleaner look. So took the courage and ripped a little of the cover off to see with what the support thing is attached. It seems to be a rivet. The cover is clued yes, it comes off quite easy. Have an experience with ceiling upholstery change so maybe it's an easy fix. Have to find a proper cloth and spray clue, cut some plywood into the holes, clue them in and if needed sanding it even. Thank you for your thoughts! 😊 If I get it done, then going to describe the work here too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted March 13, 2021 I’ve got a similar shelf in mine, but the top has been made to look sort of factory, hold on and I’ll get a picture or 3. It’s been solved from above, although I do still have speakers in it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted March 13, 2021 Excuse the mess and the rather conspicuous manifold 🤪 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KTI 0 Posted May 2, 2021 Thank you for the idea! I took the job and ripped it apart. Wasn't hard, cover fabric came off quite easily, drilled the rivets off of the support thingy.. 😄 Measured and cut right parts for the holes and glued them in with epoxy clue. 😄 Now I need to buy some cover fabric when the shops are opened again.
