Must have got lost during the server changeover.

I think the small speaker shelves are easier for fitting the blind, but I'll try and work something out, as mine are the larger speaker type.

I didn't know they had two different size speakers in them?

If you haven't got a drill stop, and to prevent hitting the rear screen, just place a piece of wood between the shelf and the glass

Well, I got up and went for it this morning.

I removed the three Torx T30 screws that hold the plastic seatbelt trims in place (as well as the front edge of the shelf) and unscrewed the plastic trim fixing from the centre front of the shelf too.
There is one plastic trim clip on the underside of the shelf, which required squeezing to release it.
There is no need to remove the speaker covers, or disconnect the speakers.
Once you pop the front of the shelf over the side bolsters, the whole shelf cover slides straight out.

There is no way the cassette was going to fit between the speakers and the glass, so I decided to fit it on the ridge just in front of the speakers.

I marked the drill positions 300mm in from each side and 40mm from the front of the speaker cover. Drilled the holes and fed the studs through and tightening the nyloc nuts with a ratcheting ring spanner.

Slid the shelf cover back in, tightened up the three Torx screws, replaced the trim clip and clicked the one in the boot home too.

Took some pics - job done!

I also stuck in a photo of my new rear booster seats too!

Oh, I also vacuumed the vents at the rear edge of the shelf, as they were full of dead greenfly, that had been there for the entire time I had
owned the car.
