What should I do if my parcel tray comes off the shelf?

How do you make a rear parcel tray?
Sit the 6×9 (complete with grille) in place, then fettle the position of the doughnut around it until you have a nice, even gap all ’round. Mark the outside line and put a few cross-hairs on the sides (arrow) to make it easy to realign the ring after you’ve adding a smear of PVA wood glue to the underside.
What’s the thickness of a Fairlane parcel tray?
While 12mm is adequate, you can go thicker if you wish. However, like many cars, the Fairlane’s parcel tray has a slight curve in it – any thicker than 12mm and it gets difficult to curve the wood to match the body. After you’ve marked it up, cut it out with a jigsaw. 2. The 12mm shelf will sit differently to the thin masonite version.
