Hi just seen one on ebay current bid £75, just e-mailed the guy it is toyota but no fittings he has sold one before complete and it went for £150 this one is secondhand .How easy would it be to fit without the brackets and could something be used to support the shelf, i have seen i generic one advertised on a website called japanese 4x4 spares for £95.Thanks for any replies.

Here are some pics of the missing bits, no one will sell these bits seperate as no one wants just a boot liner with no bits

Thanks for the pics, i can see that the brackets just screw to the side panels and making anything to fit would be a nightmare therefore unless you have the brackets in place already and no cover this piece of kit is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard! Also out of interest where did you get yours, thanks.

HILUX -bob sells them occasionaly so PM him if you want one.
includes the brackets.

i emailed that company you mentioned Mark, and they told me that they no longer sell them anymore.

If you find a source, let me know, as i need one as well.

There's nothing special about Surf luggage blinds. They're low quality and they dont wear very well so you'd have to be exceptionally stupid to pay £150 for a secondhand one.

Ford Sierra and late model Escort blinds are about the right size and you can get the whole thing with all the fittings from a breaker for £20-30. Best luggage blind I've seen in a Surf was originally from a Volvo 264 station wagon and cost us £10

Hi "BUT" arnt most people in your country on very "LOW" wages like as £150 per month. So £150 for a 2nd hand cover would be very expensive in you country. Here they are over £450-00p Plus VAT at the mainagents.

What people are willing to pay for an accessory when they are buying a new car has nothing to do with what a 10 year old item is worth. Ford probably charged £200-300 for a Sierra luggage cover when a Sierra was a new car but see how much you can get for one in 2004 - maybe £30 for a perfect one?

thanks Turandot. I may live in England but i'm not stupid enough to fork out £150 for something as old and used as a 10 yr old parcel shelf !

Until your reply, i was considering constructing one. Should not be that difficult, and i could custom fit some decent speakers in it as well.

i shall keep an eye out for the others you mentioned.

Hi when i get one and the brackets, are they easy to fit or does the rear panel have to be cut to fit the brackets.Hopefully they will just screw to the sides once you have measured where the brackets need to go.

Its better to remove your side panels theyre will be marks on the inside where you cut out a small section, You will make a neater job as well. The two brackets that fit near your back door may not have the attachment for these screws but you can screw these into the plastic side panels.
