Now it's time to put it back in. It will slide back in the same way you pulled it out, reinstall speakers, clips etc. put the back seat back in last, or you might have trouble positioning it.
 
And the finished product


 
I used Sellys kwik grip contact adhesive and loctite industrial super glue.


 
I have used the same technique on door trims as well.
 
If you are using vinyl to do this, I recommend gluing a 2.5mm foam backing to it first, or it will show all the imperfections in your base surface (check that trim will go back on with the extra thickness first if you are doing this)
 
Always check the direction of stretch in the fabric before starting. You need to make sure the grain will stretch the way you want it too.

Alright, I've just recovered my parcel shelf and thought I'd make up a bit of a how to. I have reused the old parcel shelf and repaired it, but you could just use it as a stencil and cut a new one out if yours is beyond repair.
 
I had already removed it before I thought of taking photos and doing a write up on here, but basically, all you need to do to remove is take out the back seat, pull out the plastics clip, speakers and slide it out.
 
Tools you will need:
Stanley knife
Hole punch kit (not essential)
Trim scissors (or dress making scissors)
Contact adhesive (don't be stingy, buy two cans if you are using aerosol)
Prepsol/white spirits/acetone etc
Your chosen fabric
Tailors chalk or white pencil
Gaffer tape
Superglue
Rags
 
Start off by cleaning the parcel shelf with your chosen solvent, I used acetone because that's what I had lying around.
 
This was the worst of the damage to mine, I just wrapped a single layer of gaffer tape around the crack to hold it together. Any splits, I put some superglue in and taped together. I the covered all unnecessary holes with gaffer tape ( just a single layer, or it will show through on the finished job).


 
Now I had a piece broken off, so I sprayed a bit of contact onto each piece, stuck them together to hold temporarily, then squirted a bit of superglue into the gaps, and taped it up.
