Luggage Cover

[Guest minstrel]

:( Hi, bought my galaxy glx 1996 P reg 2 litre a few weeks ago, but it hasn't got a luggage cover/parcel shelf, i want to buy one but, it does'nt look like one will fit anywhere, do these's things fit to all galaxy's or can i buy some type of fitment to make one fit, i love my car but it's like not having a boot, i need to put my bags somewhere without people seeing them.

You need two brackets which fit on the trim on either side just behind middle row of seats (and brackets underneath which bolt to the chassis) and two brackets on the tailgate pillars. Could probably get a photo later if you need one

Try ebay

I think this is what you want. Other than that I seem to remember a picture of one that was home made with instructions. I think it was Ivor - however I can't find the thread, sorry.

 

HTH :(

Take a look at this posting

 

The location for the holes for the brackets is pre-marked on the inside of the covers :(

One of the sellers on ebay claims that the fitting kit, brackets etc

is available from frauds for about

First you need to make a frame from suitable wood, bolts, nuts and washers, plus a bit of self-adhesive velcro .....

[Ivor_E_Tower]

Then you drape a suitable blamket over it, and the velcro helps to grip the blanket. Use sufficiently robust wood, and the frame acts as a shelf for you to rest jackets on, etc etc.....

 

I had suitable wood and bolts etc lying around. I bought a travel blanket for around

Thats a versalility pack for you :D :D

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me what the recess is used for, that is circled in white on this picture?

 

Thanks

[NikpV]

When you unclip the seatbelt from the floor it retracts and clips into this recess :D

Cheers NikpV,

 

I've always wondered what it was for, now I know :D

- but still probably wont use it.....

[NikpV]

It stops the buckle smacking the window as you throw the car through the chicane(sp) :D

[NikpV]

I've read somewhere that vw is cheaper than fords for the fixings ;)

[lazyb5]
