V12 Vantage rear parcel shelf

[CatalystV12V]

Mine appears to be catching against the window and is rubbing the corners of the parcelshelf to a shiny finish.. This will ebventually rub through the covering I guess... Anyone had a similar problem?

I'd just take it out, meant to make it sound much better.

I haven't noticed this, but then again, my parcel shelf is folded on my boot floor to highten the aural pleasure!!

Mine's got some manky tape applied to the two corners where it touches the window, presumably in an attempt to prevent this (or the accompanying rattle).

think that could be the answer then

It happened on my V8V but not on my V12V. Dealer adjusted it and it was fine afterwards. I understand that it is a common problem with the coupe but easily fixed.

One other thing that I decided to address was the marking of the strut that goes across the engine - I thought it was some sort of water ingress. Apparently it is caused by the lining of the bonnet rubbing on the strut. It is only there for some minor sound proofing (nothing to do with heat). I have had it removed - anything to allow the noise of the engine to be released and the strut is now unblemished.

I am talking rubbish - I had the N400 roadster so not an issue then so must have been with the V12V. Either way the dealer cured easily enough.
