Citroën C2 question

Miami
Miami Posts: 70 Forumite
A couple of months ago, I purchased my first car, a Citroën C2 Furio 1.4. It's a great car so far, but I'm having trouble with the parcel shelf. It appears to be connected to the boot's upper door, but I would like to remove it as I have a dog and would like to keep him in the boot during journeys instead of having him run around the back seat shedding fur everywhere and keeping the local valeters in business! ;)

A quick Google didn't give me many answers except that most people had ripped their parcel shelves off, causing damage to the clips, and we're having trouble putting it back on (and I don't really want to use brute force to get my parcel shelf off.) I'm hoping someone might have the same / a similar car and know how to do this?

Thank you in advance :)

  • Its only clipped in, hold it where it goes into the boot trim and give it a good tug on both clip areas. It is tight but will come away with no damage.

    As above but if you do it too often you may find the clips break.

    Spray the clips with WD40 before pulling.

    Thanks for your help, will try that (got to find the WD40 first) and regarding the clips breaking if you take the parcel shelf on/off too often, I'm hoping that I can manage to leave it without putting it back, as the dog does travel with us quite regularly. Will see how it goes once it isn't attached to the door.

    Thanks for the help, fingers crossed it's successful :)
