Does anyone have any suggestions/connections?
Lost one of the parcel shelf clips for the Galaxy, so it isn't usable (this was over a year ago). I initially made contact with a company on eBay that made all manner of other clips. I sent them the one I had and they sent back a copy for me to check before they then mirrored it.
Unfortunately they've since stopped responding to messages, and I've not heard anything since April. So, thought I'd ask the forum hivemind. It will require mirroring the existing clip to make the opposite half. Obviously happy to pay for it.
Before someone suggests I just buy a new one they're £120+ for a decent used one, and I don't like the idea of throwing the existing one away for the sake of a £2 piece of plastic.
Edit: and I've not been able to find anyone making the clips.

Parcel shelves do seem to be ridiculously expensive - I’ve searched unsuccessfully for BMW & MINI ones in the past. Your only chance is to wait for one to turn up on eBay locally, with a low start price and no postage.

What year is your Galaxy, there are several parcel shelves on Facebook Marketplace from £30

2012. The cheap ones I've found so far are for the first gen (the VW one) or trashed.

I'm assuming you've tried breakers yards?

Did look around initially. Nobody had the clips (or at least didn't want to sell just those).
This is what it looks like (that is the O/S clip. I need the N/S.

No they won't want to sell the clips if it makes the parcel shelf less sellable, we never did but we wouldn't charge much for an entire shelf.

It seems the Gen2 Galaxy has the most expensive parcel shelf of all the models. Can find cheap options for the other two. Quite annoying.
Edit: found one for £60, and seller is around the corner from the in-laws. Have sent him a message to confirm it has both clips.
