Title: Rear parcel shelf cut out
Post by: Cumbria on 21 October 2008, 17:37:39

Just got a parcel shelf with rear blind & cut out for bose speakers. Whats the best way to cut out the metal shelf for the speakers. Whas hoping it would be perforated so i could just knock it out. Thanks

seems 1999 and on do not have knockouts.

I did a quick template for Marks DTM, not sure if he's had chance to use it yet...

I cant see any sign of a knock out. Not removed shelf yet though just looked under shelf from boot.

My '99 CDX ain't got the holes - solid shelf.  I was wondering about how to cut the holes too.  Think it's going to be messy :(

cut the holes out with a nibbler, ive got one that fits in an electric drill, does a lovely cut with no burrs or distortion.
