Given I have a bit of spare time on my hands, you're making me think I could do a pair in aluminium...……………

I covered the Plus 4 retainers in black leather, but I happen to have some 2mm, and 2.5mm aluminium sheet in stock, bought for something else...…….
And another job? Why not...……..I could make a small batch. It would be small though. Very small.
I wonder why nobody has done this already.

So am I right in thinking it's one of the two clips that retains the removable shelf panel behind the seats ? only the one's fitted to my 4/4 are made of steel..
