Rear parcel shelf liner

Post by rogerotto66s »

A few questions.


#1
Is there any sound deadening material either under the shelf liner or under the shelf in the boot?


#2
The shelf liner is attached to the shelf by 4 screws.
They 2 toward the rear look like they may be sheet metal screws that simply screw into the shelf - no nuts or fasteners.
Is this correct?


#3
The shelf liner is attached to the shelf by 4 screws.
Not sure about the 2 toward the front.

There is a round hole in the shelf approx 3/8” and a 5/8” hole in the shelf liner (cover by the vinyl).
What type of fixture is used here so that the liner can be screwed to the shelf?
I have check the BMC service parts lists but can not find anything.

Here are a few pictures.

1) The Sound deadening is in the Boot, and glues to the underside of the rear parcel shelf.
2) The rear of the shelf liner on my 68 S was originally held in place by 2 pop rivets from factory. The 2 rear seat retaining screws hold the liner in place at the front
The two holes you speak of, have no fasteners (on my car).

The rear seat back has two threaded studs that go through and has small nuts fitted in the boot on my 65 car

I will fit sound deadening under the parcel shelf in the boot.

I will try the rivets on the rear holes. If that doesn’t work I will use a screw w/ cup washer similar to boot lid liner.

Here is a picture of my rear seat squab showing the spring nut.
I did not know the rear seat back was held in place in this manner.
I will find a screw and washer and feed it up from the boot through the parcel shelf and into the spring nut.
