WTB: Hatchback Luggage Cover Rests, the plastic hinge things... Options

[jophish]

I'm looking for the passenger side luggage cover rest/hinge in black. When i bought my car it only came with the driver's side one and it's been extremely inconvenient ever since. Any help would be awesome since the dealership wants an arm and a leg for a tiny part.

On the topic of the "Package Shelf".... Just curious but has anyone else noticed that it doesn't quite fit correctly?

Where the ends of the rod (the piece you were looking for) goes into the interior trim (driver and passenger sides) when it is lifted up it wrecks the hinge hole because the shape of the package shelf catches on the interior trim.



I ended up doing some "alterations" (read as cutting) sections of the "Package Shelf" so it would open freely and not catch on the interior trip pieces, therefore not putting stress on the holes.

I trimmed where the arrows are, took off about 1/2 an inch depth, and about 1 inch length.



Now it opens fine without "stressing" the interior trim holes and causing them to crack.

Just curious.
