Show me your....Original Rear Parcel Shelf

[Nickshu]

I am trying to reassemble my rear parcel shelf to the OEM setup.

When I bought the car it was missing and I assembled a mix of parts from a local used parts supplier 12 years ago, and made some leather straps/snaps for the seatbacks with stuff from a fabric store.

Wondering what the OEM setup is supposed to look like. Can anyone share photos? The schematics in the parts diagram is not clear on what parts go where.

Wondering if the parcel shelf goes on top of the padded backing or if the padded backing goes on top?...among other things.

Here's a pic of mine as it stands now.

Thanks!

Bump. Can somebody with an SC run out and snap a pic for me?

Yours looks right. Here is a '78 Turbo. Sorry, not great pix.

Hope this helps.

1984 (so basically same as the SC) - all original

Thanks guys! Mine has two extra screws at the upper left/right edge of the padded backing piece....I cannot get them to screw into sheet metal, feel like they are screwed just into the interior engine sound pad underneath. Now I know why...they were added by a PO and not supposed to be there.

Glad mine looks like it should. The parcel shelf had been recovered over a Kenmore refridgerator box cut to shape by the PO. Always wondered if it was period correct or not.

It's interesting that some of them above look like mine and a couple look like they have a flat bar going across the front, then bend downward into the parcel area. Wondering if this was different for cars with and without factory rear speakers?? Tomdeg and FL763...both are 1978 but appear to be different styles.

Thanks again!!!
