I would like to know if anyone has any ideas for
a) Keeping a parcel shelf up without falling every 5 km
b) How to prevent my single windows from rattling
c) How to stick my window rubbers back in place
d) How I could place my CD player under the dash instead of keeping it in the glove box.
Thank you for any help fellow dubbers 😀.

CD PLAYER HELP
Depending on the model car you have you could put you stereo or cd player in the centre of the dash. Simply take out the old stereo, measure your new one and be sure to aviod the wiper bracket. Just test it out and then you will see how much room you have. Once marked cut out with a steady hand using a jig leave a amount for a small error while cutting and sand with a file. I know it sounds a bit crude in the way to do it, but its what I have done to mine. It looks really neat and tidy and doesn't hit anything. If you want any more help with this let us know. If you have a email address u2u it too me if you are interested and I will post you back some pictures of mine. If you want to install amps etc it not too hard let us know and I can point you in the right direction. I hope this info has been helpful and cheered up your day a bit. But you have to admit some of the above reply's are pritty funny. Ben Dickens U2U"Harryman"
CD Player, stick it under the seat, its trick safe and it always looks like your scratching your bollocks.
Parcel shelf, these normally fall when the rear seat moves forward upon braking. An L bracket at the front and back (fixed to the rear of the seat, and inner engine wall).
Windows, fit some one piece windows for peace of mind. If you have these fitted, it all depends how well they were fitted first time round.
Which window rubbers?
Stu
I use a 20mmx20mm aluminium square tube mounted the each side of the car just behing the rear seat. The speaker/parcel shelf rests on that. Does not fall and I can pull the rear seat forward to get at anything in the back. 1.2M of tube will set you back about $15 at a hardware.

I cant put my Head Unit into the dash cause i have some heaps crap padded dash
The window rubbers I'm talking about are the door rubbers that sit on the outside of the window and between the body, above the car handle.
