REAR SHELF BREAKAGE
Rear Shelf Breakage - 2006 Eclipse. There have been reports of the hinge support on the rear shelf breaking due to the shelf being lifted and tilted too far forward. The shelf is designed to be tilted at no more than a 45 degree angle. If it is tilted further than 45 degrees, its hinge support(s) will break.
Please advise customers not to force the shelf forward more than 45 degrees after lifting it up. If a hinge support breaks, the entire shelf must be replaced.
Inspect the underside of the shelf for damage to the reinforcing ribs. If the shelf has been forced down onto an oversized object in the trunk, the ribs will be crushed. Shelf replacement for this condition is not warrantable.
