Mk3 parcel shelf - is 2-door different to 4-door?

[Danish 294]

I went to visit my Mk3 today. In fact I've been there every day this week. But here is a puzzle - the parcel shelf that was cut off a 4-door Mk3 for me is a good 3" shorter than the one that's on the car. :headscratch:

 

It's not a problem, we can work around it, but it was a surprise.

Different between FL and PFL maybe?

 

I'll grab a photo next time I go in...

poss something I've never rearly looked at, the seats & card shelf are all interchangeable so they must be the same as a complete unit??

Well Pete has a 2 door and 2 4 doors at home now - you need to send him out with a tape measure :rolleyes:

Apparently it was cut from a Mk4, not a Mk3 and I was just confused :sofa:

 

It looked like a Mk3 to me!
