Parcel shelf

This has probably been asked before but I can't find it. How is the parcel shelf held in at the front? My parcel shelf has a folded lip with holes along it but there are no holes to screw it onto.
I don't want to start drilling holes, but the parcel shelf is drooping at the front and I want to find a way of holding it up. Should there be holes in the metal?
Cheers Will

Normally, the folded lip you refer to is fitted with little rivets that come through the bulkhead (some people have used small nuts and bolts instead). So there *should* be little holes - have another look. See my post here:

I lifted the bonnet up and found the holes that hold the parcel shelf but they are missing the rivets so I will use nuts and bolts to hold it up.
Cheers

Coolio!

I thought they should be there...
If you have a willing assistant it will make it much easier as you really need one person in the car and one working from the engine bay. And take the front seats out to improve access.....
