Drilled & tapped holes in parcel shelf?

Post by Splinter »

Under the rear window, behind the seats. There are three tapped holes for a 10mm bolt, one in the center at the furthest to the rear, and two at either side, about 6 inches away

Any idea what these are for? I was going to use them to build a custom mount/case for my carPC

No clue.

I've seen people use those for mounting harnesses before.

Take a picture of what you are talking about. There are two holes just beyond the rear window. Those are for the rear window wiper mounting bracket.

They are. I was just looking at the green piece of paper about them that came with the car yesterday. On the wagons they're actually on the ceiling...

That's what I was thinking they were for, since the new scoobs have latches (or something) there from the factory.

Score.

They'll make a perfect mount then.

I just scored a 20gb 1.8" drive which is nearly indistructable (200G operating shock rating), so Ill run that as my system drive, and mount the media drive on a USB extension inside the removable stereo box.

That way I can pull out the more fragile 3.5" drive when Im racing, and still keep GPS and engine diagnostics running.
