Hi fellow YRV owners,
Just wondering if any YRV owners have the rear tonneau cover?
I don't have one but seeing some on YRVs for sale,some have 'stretched' through time and age..is it worth sourcing an original one?
I've never been able to find one...
BUT,about two weeks ago I came across a YRV breaking in Somerset..
WITH a parcel shelf!!!
Home-made in wood and carpeted...What a find!!!
It folds and on 4 brackets,2 on either side in the boot.
Whoever made that was one fine carpenter!!!
It even 'locks' into place...a mighty fine fit as well.
I have the tonneau cover on
I have the tonneau cover on my car. When I bough the car the cover was still in it's plastic bag with the space saver wheel. Had to make some adaptions to get it to fit, better than nothing
Have contemplated getting a proper parcel shelf, but I do believe the majority of the shelves out there were dealer fit options.

what is this? Mine has a
what is this?
Mine has a parcel shelf, as described in the first posting, It is not a DIY job as mine is exactly the same, wood covered in thick carpet, 2 brackets on each side that it rests on and it locks in place
Your lucky
The YRV came with a fabric cover as standard. The Parcel shelf you have is an optional extra that Daihatsu would sell you. I believe at the time the fitting was bespoke to get it to fit right.
I was lucky to still have the cover as some of these get lost when the car is sold.

Ive got the Genuine upgrade
Ive got the Genuine upgrade hard shelf and its crap!
Reminds me of a toastie...sealed around the edges with a soft floppy inner
Poorly made and as Nathan says its wood strips laminated with a stiffish material
The damn thing used to fall past the brackets every now and then so i repositioned them....now it makes various annoying noises.
Has anyone elses velcro fell off the gap flap??
I could make a custom MDF version alot better than this thing.
