Polestar 2 Parcel Shelf String Clip

The Polestar 2 parcel shelf has, in my humble opinion, two design flaws.

1. When you remove the shelf, a string can fall through its hole easily and you can lose it on the ground without realizing it.
2. The string is strongly tied with no fail-safe feature. If you open the trunk and one rubber thingy dangling under the shelf gets stuck in your cargo, the door will force and the string can break.

I designed this clip to fix those 2 problems.

Print

Simply print in black PLA, remove the support in the string cavity.
I printed my clips with 15% infill, the hook force is perfectly balanced.

• Easy to clip/unclip with your fingers.
• Does not wear the PLA.
• Stays on even with some weight on the shelf but will unhook if a major problem arise.

Installation

• Remove the small threading tying the loop (mine was ripped apart by the power liftgate force)
• Pass the string in the shelf (from bottom to top)
• Insert the string in the smaller clip hole
• Tie a knot, it will be hidden in the larger cavity.
• Hook the clip with the bulge towards the center of the trunk. 
• Level the shelf by adjusting both sides, changing the knot placements.
• For a cleaner look, you can cut the extra string length after the knots are final.

Update

A friend wanted a tighter version.
I made 3 additional variants with increasing grip.

Try them if the regular file slips too easily.

I have not personally printed and tested them, YMMV.
