The rear seat back on the BJ7 does not fold down flat to make a shelf like the 
BJ8. It simply leans forward to help make room for the top when it is being 
folded up and down.

There are two tenax studs on the top edge to attach the tono cover.

I decided to fix my BJ7 parcel shelf that has been out of the car, well 
forever.  The bottom of the wood frame is rotted out and the hinges are 
missing.  I have the chrome retaining bars that fit into the rubber holders.  I 
plan to fabricate a new plywood frame.


When I stripped off the vinyl cover, I found another one under it!  Both look 
"factory original" but the inner one has the holes for the tonneau cover snaps, 
the outer one does not.  Was this a slap dash repair by the factory or by a 
dealer or a PO?  Anyone ever see something like this before?  I think I can get 
the hinges at SC Parts.  Do the hinges attach on the front facing part of the 
parcel shelf - otherwise how does it fold down?  If anyone has a pic of their 
parcel shelf "up" and "down", I'd greatly appreciate it.
