Faded parcel shelf

[hilmar2k]

So my '08 A6 has a brutally faded parcel shelf. The original color was amaretto, but the current color would be a light tan. It looks awful, which is a shame since I love that interior color. Are there any options? I've looked around for a replacement panel without much luck. Can it be redyed?

I was thinking of getting mine wrapped in the same leather as the seats

Being that the shelf is a fabric, dying it is possible. The one concern I would have is color matching the interior with fabric dye but since yours is faded and off color as it is now, you may not care.

Yeah, it's so far off color now it wouldn't be hard to get it closer. Honestly, I was really surprised how little luck I had finding a replacement.

Mine is too. Mine is an '06. The shelf was originally grey. Now, it's got streaks & blotches where it's sun faded.
I'm thinking a fabric tinting spray may work.
It really detracts from an otherwise well preserved car.
