I just got an email from a service center in Ohio that my parcel shelf was on the way. Anyone else get one?

I thought it was Always Sunny In Philadelphia?

I wonder if they can update the picture to a color that is not Standard like mine?

Are you talking about buffeting with the sunroof open?

Got the same frustration feeling from LA that factory HQ communication seems like a black hole. I'm sure it has to do with the speed they've ramped up and the push to get the cars out! :cursing:
To answer a few of the questions above,
• having the parcel shelf DOES noticeably stop buffeting noise when panorama roof is open. huge difference.
• if there's a difference in the level of motor-whine noise (or road noise, tire noise) heard from the driver's seat, I can't really notice it. Logically, it should be quieter as there's now an additional cover over the area where the noise is coming from, but I honestly can't tell the difference. Still hear that whine when accelerating and still hear the basic motor noise when on the highway.
• i don't think the spoiler helps with dirt/dust on the back of the car. My black car is still dirty pretty quick this time of year, both above and below the spoiler, and seems to be about the same as before I had the spoiler.

My service manager told me that the spoiler and P85 badging would be shipped directly to my home, when I thought I recalled that they must be installed by the service center. Has anyone here gotten them directly shipped, versus installed by service center?

Just and FYI for everyone .... I decided to call today about my Parcel Shelf ....
877-798-3752 option 4,
Rep told me he didn't see me on the list ......but saw my due bill.
So, my advice is to call if you are < VIN 1000 just to "check" on the status.

This doesn't sound correct. I had the San Diego service center order my badge when I saw the first pictures posted here of deliveries with the badge. (Since then they became back ordered from what I understand) The local tech ended up having to make a template from another vehicle as they were not provided one. Unless they have a new installation kit with template I wouldn't want to install them myself. I'm sure if they end up shipped to your house the service center will still be happy to install them. I'm still waiting on my CF spoiler, trunk storage cover, and jump seats.

My Parcel shelf arrived. There was a warning about strong magnets??? I can't imagine why the parcel shelf contains magnets.
Also, it smells kinda' funky - it's ruining that "new car smell".
Anyone else notice that?

Hank42, I probed around and found the magnets in the rails in the car that the parcel shelf sits on. No magnets in the parcel shelf. There is nothing magnetic in the part of the shelf that corresponds to the site of the magnets in the rail in the car. The magnets are nice strong magnets but don't seem to be life threatening. Anyone have any insights as to their original purpose or why there is a safety warning?

Pacemakers and some other medical devices are reset or modified by use of magnets waved in the area of the device.

I play a nice person on twitter.
Magnets are placed within six inches to turn the programmed behavior of pacemakers /implantable defibs to the off position, so that a patient's health can be monitored. However, when the magnet is removed, these devices are validated to revert back to the clinician-programmed state.
This wasn't always true, but those devices have long expired. So while it could impact a person with a pacemaker or defib implanted, it's unlikely. (Doubtful they'd hang out within 6" of the magnet for more than seconds.) But the warnings need to be present, as a reasonable way of informing/mitigating the risk.
