Roomster Parcel Shelf Gap

in Skoda Roomster (2006-2015)

Hi just got a Roomster and absolutely love it - far better than the heap of rubbish Fiat Croma that kept on braking down!

However there does seem to be design flaw with the parcel shelf. There is ALWAYS a gap between the middle seat and the parcel shelf. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong but it does seem odd....I don't like the fact that you can see into the boot.

How have other people got round this? Can the middle seat be moved or is it possible to buy a boot cover - I've seen one here but don't know whether it is any good or not

I've not yet seen any other Roomsters in car parks etc to see what they've done about the problem!

many thanks

Welcome to the forum Olly.

Don't waste £22 of your hard earned cash on what can only be described as the worst accesory ever released. :thumbdown:

I would save some more £££'s and get some subtle tints or the full set of sunblinds. :thumbup:

I am fortunate enough to have sunset glass on the Scout and have fitted the sunblinds which, as well as looking like some sort of limo B) also mean no scrotes can see in, and J5 Jnr gets no glare from the sun :giggle:

It's handy though if you want to leave a dog guard in the car and use the parcel shelf when you aren't carrying the dog.

I got the cover and it's worked so far, 2 years.

Got it as part of the deal when i bought the Roomy.

I bought that accessory as soon as i bought my Roomster, I think it does the job it is designed for since i don't want my boot to be visible to anyone.

The cover that was available for early Roomsters was a "velcro" secured nightmare. The second generation covers are much better in that they have plastic clips that secure to the rear seat headrests and are much quicker and easier to use. Still expensive for what they are though.

Thanks for the advice everyone - the one I linked to in the OP was a velcro one, so maybe not that one. Might just soldier on with a little baby blanket that I'm using at the moment

Don't do that, the cover that clips onto the headrests is excellent (and essential). It should be standard.

I stand corrected. I did not know there was a revised cover. TAXI!! :giggle:

That's news to me as well, not had a problem with my original one as allready said.

Hi J5 - did you buy the skoda ones for your roomster or say ones from a company that does a set of 6 ??

thanks Smelly

this boot cover can you buy it for the new roomster

Where can I get the parcel shelf gap cover with the plastic clips, and will it fit a 2007 Roomster?

HTH :thumbup:

Original cover looked better, but was less durable due to velcro. Newer style cover does not actually fit all that well, since it is not hooked to middle rear headrest, and the fabric is split 40/60. It does job well enough, but there is always a very small gap/slot left.

Is that the new one with clips? All I see on it is "fastened using velcro fasterners.."

EDIT: never mind, OP link is to the new one with clips

I found the boot cover a pain after the roller blind type on my Citroen so I consigned it to the loft and just rely on tinted windows now. Plus not leaving anything worth stealing in there.

Should add that I regularly carry (other folks) walking aids, so it was continually in and out.

The roller blind parcel shelf was the only bit of my Schitroen I preferred to my Roomster.

My Scout has sunset glass, which helps to hide things from opportunist thieves.

I also carry a black sheet, which I throw over anything that remains visible through the gap behind the rear seats.

I agree but would include 3 reasonable sized rear seats

Thanks for the links, but all of them seem to say "fastened using velcro fasteners". Sorry, am I missing something? What is OP link and which link is to the cover with the clips?

Most sellers I looked at post the picture/description of old cover then send a new one. Old cover looked better, newer one is more durable.
