Soft Parcel Shelf - Falling Out!

[GazLion]

Good afternoon all

1st post on the forum, so i am after a bit of advice, although only a small, annoying issue. Is there a mod or way-around the soft parcel shelf not falling out of place either when shutting the rear door/boot or just falling out of place randomly when driving!

i cant see that any clips or anything is missing or broken, but it just seems to jump out of the 2x clip-in tags (c-shaped for the want of a better explanation!) and hang by the strings when you open the boot again. as i say, not world stopping but annoying!

any advise would be appreciated

cheers!

Loads of advice on this subject going back years on the forum. Posting some pics will also help.

Welcome to the forum.
I've never had any problem with the boot cover, but others have had various problems, usually involving snapping.
If I recall someone secured theirs with a cable tie that was quite effective.

Here’s the original list thread

Cable tie fixes the lower clip but the upper ones are alway coming away randomly, very bad design, why Ford didn’t keep the attached type that slot in like the fiesta I’ll never know

Hopefully there’s an redesign soon to retrofit, I’ve brought it up with CRC a few times if a lot also do then we may get a change, hoping

FIXED.

Drilled a small hole on each side slightly below where the clips on the parcel shelf are, as seen from standing at the boot when open.

Ran a cable tie through the hole and tied it LOOSELY more or less horizontally. Ran another round the C-clip and above the 'willy' bit, more or less vertically, threading it through the existing tie. Pull the second cable tie TIGHT. Snip off the ends of you're anal like me. Jobs a good 'un, hasn't fallen down since.

[If you're worried about the first cable tie rubbing the hole you drilled and chewing through the plastic, I guess you could thread it through a piece of heat shrink solder tubing or similar, first... Although hasn't been an issue for me.]

4mm drill bit
4 x 140 x 3.5mm cable ties (just what I used)

I just take it out from delivery.
That way it never causes an issue.
To be fair though, we kept it in on our first Puma and like Sparks said, it never caused us a problem.

Mine has just started doing this as well. I found that a tiny bit of anti-slip matting under the pin keeps it in place. Not pretty but does the job.
