I have an 07 V8 Vantage that was missing its cargo cover trunk luggage shelf (not sure what the actual name of this is) when I acquired it. It’s the piece that is attached to the hatch by strings.
I can’t find a replacement anywhere except eBay, where there are 2 used ones listed.
They are $650 and $455.
The more expensive one (titled as “2006-2018”) has “Aston Martin Vantage” stitched on it, while the cheaper one (titled “2008”) is just plain black with nothing stitched on it.
Both are expensive for being used, and being just pieces of fabric.
Has anyone seen these anywhere at a more reasonable price?
Thanks.

 

From what I can find, looks like around 2008 they changed how it connects in the car (the pin area) and stopped making the one that would fit the 2007. On top of that, it looks like they are quite expensive for a new one (the prices you have are actually cheap). This listing has some details on what changed and how a customer bought a new one and retrofitted it to an older car:

Basically, you would need to get the new one if you can't find the older style one. Then to make it fit, either buy the side carpets also that have the new pin slots, or remove the pins on the new one and put in some hardware store push pins of some sort that will work with the older models pin holders.

 

thanks for the info.
i appreciate it.

 

Someone makes a carbon fiber replacement. You might want to look into that as an option.

 

I googled around and couldn’t find anything.
Do you have a link or a name?
Thanks in advance.

The price is insane (Smile)

 

I got curious and searched for it on ebay. The $6xx one seems to be "badged" not stitched. Did the seller say they are stitched?

What's your idea of "a more reasonable price" anyway?

 

you are right, badged not stitched.
I didn’t look too closely, just assumed it was stitched.

I am new to AM, so am still getting used to AM pricing.
I have an 07 V8 Vantage with 10k miles.
I haven’t had to buy anything for it yet.
My only perception of prices are what I see on forums like this.
Until I have to pay for something myself, it won’t be real😂😂.

 

If you are buying a used one, make sure it's not warped. They warp easily over time in the sun.

 

All good. My first AM was also a 07 Vantage, around 10k miles, so I get where you're coming from. I felt to the need to replenish missing parts. I bought a 12V cigarette lighter plastic cover from AM only to realize it's a Ford part for a fraction of the price. It was just an excuse to drive to the AM dealership to pick up something.

Going back to the shelf, IMO it's not a must have item so just keep watching ebay. The right one will pop up.
