Saloon electric powerblind wanted
 
Anyone got a saloon rear powerblind and parcelshelf? Preferably a zt one with the dark grey parcelshelf. Thanks

NO LONGER AVAILABLE !


Rick, I have here a blind cartridge in working condition (Not the shelf), just PM me and we can get things moving.

An option whilst you wait for the hen to drop a tooth or two is, 4 tins of poundland auto spray black (use the term auto spray with several pounds of salt lol) on a smokestone shelf gives a pretty good match to ash grey.

1 tin was enough for a coat for the shelf, 4 coats gave a good result. That is what mine is, with the fittings from the original ash grey non blind shelf.

Done a few in the same way, works quite well and looks so much better in my opinion against the colours chosen by MGR.

I've got an electric blind but I don't have a shelf.

Presumably you have the ZT shelf?

Make the blind fit your own shelf, all the cut out markings will be there I'm guessing, just like they are on the Rover.

I fitted a blind to my existing shelf.

Depends on what finish your after, mine has a mixture and very satisfied with the result, the paint used for mine came from Poundland at a vast price of ----- ?
As you would expect, the satin will provide a flat look, but the gloss will provide a more pleasant less flat appearance.

I decided not to bother fitting the blind. I've had the 75 shelf out of the car once (to sort out aerial stuff) and yes, the cut out markings were there. I just can't be bothered with all the rigmarole of running wiring, removing shelf again, cutting the slot, replacing shelf, etc. Plus there's a heavy condensation problem with the rear windscreen and I didn't want the blind & motor getting soaked in H2O.

I cannot remember whether I used gloss or satin. It has a flattish finish, and I likely would have went for the satin as the shelf would have had a matt finish. But being poundland, I wouldnt expect a high gloss result from the paint - so it could still have been gloss lol.
