Information For Cti Rear Shelf/blind

Recommended Posts

Astronought

Hi,

I've just bought a 1.9 CTI and don't really know anything about them.

 

At the moment there is nothing at the back of th rear seats to cover the boot in, so you can see straight through. Can someone tell me what should be fitted and if possible post a few pics for me?

 

Thanks

Just to let people know, I have had 309 Gti's and a Goodwood with a professional 16v conversion, so I've got some knowledge of Peugeot's. I just don't have any knowledge of the 205 CTI, so hopefully someone will help me out with information.

There is a thin carpeted 'mini' shelf mounted at an angle to cover the rear crossmember with the five bolts which hold the roof down at the rear, which then meets a small horizontally mounted parcel shelf onto which the roof rests when folded down. If I get a chance, I'll post some pics of mine.

Hi,

It does sound like the shelfs not very strong, but Id still like to get the missing bits for mine.

It sounds like if you want rear speakers then they'd have to be put them somewhere else, or you'd have to have some sort of frame, re-inforcing to take the weight.

 

Did you find your shelf at a general breakers or was it a specialist one, or did you get one on this forum?

 

Cheers

These are surprisingly strong, given the fact that the roof assembly rests on them. It must be that yours was a poor fitment. I would not recommend putting speakers in the shelf due to the fact that the roof can make a mess of the shelf itself over time, let alone speakers, plus CTI parts are becoming more and more scarce without unneccesary mutilations. :) I keep a piece of black cloth on top of mine to prevent the roof rubbing the shelf when down. I will try and get some pics of mine up asap to show what you need. There is a CTI being broken by a guy called jamie on the flea at the moment, he may have the two main bits (angled trim and shelf.) If all else fails, I may have spares of both somewhere.

i think i know what the problem was then i didnt get the short angled bit on the rear just the frount, though it looked short.

 

thinking of making one out of MDF but there does not seam to be any way of really supporting it?

 

i dont want to start building supports and and adding weight to the car, is there anywhere else people have fitted rear speckers or is it a bit of a none starter in not looking for ear shatering sounds just enough to keep me smiling on the top down days

The shelf locates on a couple of flimsy tabs that push into the rear trim above the rear window retaining bar. It is useless putting speakers in there for top down days as the hood totally stifles the sound anyway! I have been toying with the idea of rear headrests / speaker enclosures to get over this but it realy is just a fledgling thought at the moment.

never thought about it like that, its a trick one the cti the rear doorcards(i know there not doors but you know what i mean) are far too small to even think about modifying dude to the window winders maybe just two good sets of components in the frount would be best all round.

I've recently just purchased a 89 Cti in cherry red, and some clever person has decided to cut the front speaker holes to accept 6x9's.......gash is the only word that discribes it!!

 

The parcel shelf in mine just sits on the 2 support blocks and wobbles about, is there supposed to be a bar that runs along the edge of the shelf in a Cti?

in not sure when i bought my cti it had be abused by some kid in london spent two year rebuilding it after the gear box fell of as it was held in by 2 bolts and a bit of tiger seal, if you read back there 2 parts to the rear shelf (i wasnt aware if this eather) it bolts the the reat of the car under the roof.

If putting speakers in the rear shelf, always cover them when the roof is down as it will mark and ruin the plastic window, I learnt that the hard way. I made an MDF shelf up and mounted the speakers under it with holes cut in and then covered in speaker cloth, see the pics they are not clear but you get the idea.

Hi,

Thanks for the pics, think I may only need the rear shelf as I've got the sloping piece at the base of the back window.

 

Someone told me there is a bar that runs across the boot under the shelf, any truth in this?

 

Cheers

No bar, the shelf is self supporting at the front.

Hi,

Thanks for confirmation on this, I don't want to be looking for something that doesn't exist.

A picture speaks a thousand words!

 

The velcro along the front edge is what the tonneau cover attaches to, contrary to popular belief!

Hi Henry,

That's brilliant, so I do just need a shelf.

 

By the way, where did the illustration come from as I don't have any books on the 205?

 

Thanks Again

Oh and you could try here for a shelf http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1988-PEUGEOT-205-1-6...=item5adb230af0 though I think there may be a light and dark grey version depending on the age of the car

 

Hi Henry,

Sorry it's almost a month and I'd forgotten to reply, I bought the rear shelf, thanks for the lead.

 

All the Best
