rear bed/shelf adjustment... Why, What??

[Birty]

Basic stuff but sorry, could someone tell me why there are two positions for the ‘rear shelf bed thingy bobs’ aprox 2 inch above each other? Also why is there a adjustable support? why would you want the it at an angle?

The lower one is when you have the comfort mattress on so that the bed is flush when down. The other setting is for without the mattress, so it makes the difference up in the gap.
Tilting shelf is for access to battery, tool kit etc

We also use the higher position for giving a bit of extra space under the shelf while travelling...

So do we, our rear shelf is a shelf not a metal thingy

Thanks all. Kinda makes sense now.. (why would u not have the comfort mattress ?) the support arm just pops into one of the two fixing points I suppose.. temporary support for shelf..

Also comes in handy to pop head end of bed up while watching TV

We have our shelf at the rear on the highest setting so it's more comfortable whilst sleeping

I assume you meanbthat it’s slightly higher at your head end (against the tail gate)

Hi Birty. Yep as I said, at the rear

Hi all
One of the sockets for fitting the rear shelf/bed extension is broken off a bit.
I would like to replace these. How is this attached? Screwed in or stuck?
Looks like number 25 Part number 7H7068135A

Does that not make it more uncomfortable...?
I presumed a flatter bed is best?

I would assume the same? Flat is best unless for health reasons? Will try it though !

25 is just a plastic tube insteted in the metal hole I think. 28 is the screw to hold 23 into place?

 

[KGCali]

Yes it's the plastic bushes I need

For specific parts: VW.

Ouch! Maybe I'll make ones that don't break from some silicon tubing

Bit late on this but I use the brandrup small shelf pad that allows you to use the shelf in the upper position to get more depth in the boot whilst retaining a flat bed. Makes a massive difference to the carrying capacity and general access to the boot space
