Hi Raymond
I have a similar problem, the brackets that bolt to the underside of the parcel shelf aren't that strong. If you look at Jomo's photos you'll see that the bracket has a crack just above his wrench. that's how mine was until last Friday when it broke completely and as the boot lid is heavy it wont stay up. I've ordered two replacement brackets from scrapyard, and Steve posted a diagram of how to get the rear seat out. I'll let you know how I get on.
