Has anyone had problems with the parcel shelf, mine was fine then just stopped rolling back.:(
 
Not encountered this one yet.

The shelf works in exactly the same way as a roller blind so it's probably that the spring inside has come adrift.

It's possible that you can get inside the ends to see what's gong on and effect a repair too.

Let us know how you get on.

I'd take a look at mine, but Tank is in the operating theatre at the moment, having his doors replaced. It's been 3 1/2 days without an A2 and it seems a lifetime, especially as I've got a VW Polo 1.2 SE as a courtesy vehicle.

What a cr*ppy car it is - my other halfs 7 year old Yaris is better equipped and rides better too!

Cheers,

Mike
 
No worries Mike, will try and strip it down, I know what you mean I had a Lupo Gti before the A2, and the only thing I miss is the Xenon headlights.
 
Spring mechanism faulty on rear parcel shelf

Hi, have same fault on my 1.4 parcel shelf. Is it possible to dismantle shelf and replace/reseat the spring(s) or is it a whole replacement unit?

Grateful for any help - have had a quick look but can't see how to get at the mechanism.

Hi Aitchy, welcome to the A2oc.
Its a replacement unit I'm afraid as there are no spares listed for the 'roller blind' parcel shelf and no instructions on how to dismantle it. If it's scrap anyway then there is nothing to loose in pulling it to bits and having a go.

Cheers Spike
 
Thanks for the update. I'm looking for a breakers yard option at the moment so will have a go at taking the ends off out of interest really!

Cheers
