Rear cargo shelf
#22
No wind this afternoon so here it is. I am sure many people here have made them so this one is nothing special. Left over moisture resistant sub flooring, left over pieces of 3/4 underground electrical pvc, stove head bolts & nuts left over from a cheap metal shelving unit I was throwing out, bag of 4 rubber 1" tips ($1.99 from the Depot), 2 bags of 3/4 pvc clamps (.69 a bag at Depot), Extra spray paint that was lying around, and $8 for a 4 foot piece of dark grey floor runner rubber backed carpet that I have to get a chance to cut and mount. Any one can make one. Pic 1 is of shelf, pic 2 is shelf turned over so you can see. The shelf also fits below if I want to use the original shelf up top. My shelf is lighter and thinner though. I use it upside down on the cargo floor If I need full back space.

I'm still looking for one here in Carolina, had a "Want" ad up in November for one, didn't get any nibbles, salvage yards around here have two answers when it comes to HHR's.
Answer #1...What's a HHR?
Answer #2...Oh we had one of them, or was it one of them Chrysler things.
A&P, if you ever want to part with that spare one of yours, shoot me a PM please.

Still wanna make it Stealth for daily driving, but when opened for a car show, it looks car show worthy.
Best bet is stopping by all your local salvage yards. I see these back trays just laying there next to the HHR, people just toss it aside as they rip parts off the car.
Most yards won't even bother to list it as a part being sold. Put on your boots (usually muddy)and go walkin the yards that have an HHR in them. Chances are that tray is tossed either in the HHR or on the ground next to it.

I'm not afraid to get muddy A&P, actually I prowl salvage yards just for fun, kinda fascinating what you'll find like a Hudson or a Henry J off in some forgotten corner.
But at least here in the Carolina Piedmont, deceased HHR's are just not in the salvage yards, or not in them when I go poking around. Now PT's are another story, the early ones are now of that "its more than its worth to fix it" age, so they're common as dirt.
Just thought I'd ask about your spare, but I can see your desire to hide the audio goodies from less than upstanding citizens.

Reading this, you guys made me want a second cargo tray so I went out this morning and found one. A small salvage yard where I picked up the rear seat for my panel had a black one to match my interior. $40. After looking online and seeing LKQ selling them for $150 I think I got a deal.
Looks like it is going to be pretty handy. Thanks for the idea guys.
