ZX parcel shelf support cord

Oh dear - another prob with the old ZX - when I close the hatchback the cord hangs outside the car on both sides. The cord seems to have somehow grown by about 3 feet. I've had a play but can't seem to rectify this. I've now noticed a couple of other ZX's with the same strange black spagetti hanging over down over the rear light clusters so I am not alone. Anyone know a quick fix for this one?

Mine was like that when I bought it - just put a knot in it to take up some of the slack.
Worked for me!

Isn't there a kit to replace the cords and elastic (from Citroen) for about a tenner?
There is a repair kit for the same arrangement on the Xantia and it's worth every penny.

Every ZX I see has this

I suspect my Xantia had it at one stage as well - when I got it the rope had been removed

When i bought my zx it was the same. i bought a parcel strings set from citroen but the sod still hangs out slightly on one side so i need 2 take up some of the slack. bit of a daft system really-not very durable. at least they're easy to change i s'pose.
