    Parcel shelf install

    I'm having trouble getting the parcel shelf installed in my 2004 z4. The manual don't have very good instructions. Any help would greatly appreciated.

    Assuming you have the 'cloth' flap that gets attached to the front undone?
    With this unclipped, there is plenty of room to get your hands in there to line up and apply pressure to get the clips that hold the edges to bar.

    Attaching a picture because I assumed you are talking about this part in the boot.

    The yellow arrows are what I put in this pic I stole off another member to show you what I am talking about.
    That darker plastic rim piece snaps on the edge of the shelf. Start at one of the edge and kind of pinch and fold forward and the pull them apart.
    Once you get the edge started, it'll peel right off. When you're done just snap it back in on the one side and reverse process.
    I can pull mine and take more specific pics if necessary.

    Depending on how it was removed they can be a bear to get back in. Rotate the handles that normally drop it so they are in the lowered state, this gives more room to manuever around... but yes it just snaps in place as I remember.
