Thanks!!!!

 

this one should work!

After a little research, I tried MINI2's site and it was Jason Livingood who posted parts, instruction & pics. (He changed his website, that's why the old link was bad)

Never linked before so here goes (crossing fingahs):

saw Mars last night. Looked about the same as 60000 years ago. I'm a little fuzzy on the day.
Great info on the install of the shelf. Thanks Jason - I received zero instructions. Your post did make it a quick project. Unlike the rear sway bar I spent 4 hours + last Sunday on. Had to chase a few tools = I could do another in half the time.

One comment guys....Thread the plastic anchors with the screws before installing the shelf. My anchors were a little tight to say the least. I actually broke a piece of the dash support structure trying to put the screw in the first time. Took everything back out, threaded the anchors and it was a WHOLE bunch easy to put together.

Still, love it, love it, love it. If in doubt, do it. Should come like this.

Also tape the plastic anchors in place. They can move around and make it harder for the tip of the screw to find them.

 

Yeah Jason changed his server domain so all of his links were incorrect as listed on my How To Guide site. Sorry to those looking for them. I've updated everything as of this morning.

Happy modding!

Who is the best source to get the parcel shelf from?
I want to pick one up.

 

I got mine from Brian at Classic MINI (a sponsor) and recommend him happily.

Same here! Got 'em when they were on sale shipped! Cheaper than any group buy

 

My shelf from Classic arrived yesterday; installed it in about 15 or 20 minutes tonight. Great instructions, Jason. Thanks!

 

Wait a sec...Is this the same as the famed Euro shelf? Isn't the "pacel shelf" configured slightly different or are they one in the same?

 

One and the same.

 

OMG! One in the same....One and the same. Jeez, I've been wrong w/ this phrase for quite some time now.

 

I called Mini of North Scottsdale, they have parcel shelfs for $38.75!

I suspect that this does not include the heavy rubber pad, which apparently adds around $27 to the price of the shelf. Pretty steep, but it really helps to prevent stuff from sliding around down there.

All the same, that's as good a price as I've seen anywhere! Kudos to them for not gouging on parts.

 

It may also included the required hardware. I'd order it from classic MINI. You get the pad and all of the required hardware to install it. Plus the price includes shipping. Great deal and great accessory if you ask me. i love my parcel shelf!

Right, it should also come with two screws and two little metal bracket thingies.

 

Yep this was one of my easy'est installs. and I love it.
