Back parcel shelf cover

Post by mas123 » Fri Jul 29, 2011 11:01 pm

Hi,

I have a 2003 X5 and my back parcel shelf cover dosen't move back and forward very easily. I have to pull really hard to close it. Does anyone know what could be wrong with it?

This is going to sound silly, but have you checked that the little rollers on the cover (the bits on the ends of the hard 'sticks') are the correct orientation? If they end up rotating in the rails, they can jam (mine did). In theory, you could rotate them while they are in the rails, but mine were jammed solid - I had to force them out of the rails, and then put them back in correctly.
