Canuck Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 They were painted the same colour as the package tray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I painted mine package tray color (I hope). Did way before I got the tray. Now I’m going to have to go look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I noticed this, I thought that maybe somebody did a hack job at some point. I’ll take pix tomorrow for comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Yep… if I were a gamblin’ man (which, as luck has it, I am) I’d wager they used the same butter knife for the speaker cut outs on our package trays, Brew🤣 Not the best quality pictures as I had to take them from inside the car, but it’s quite obvious that their QC was lacking in this area… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I think they just sprayed some cheese wiz on there and let a couple of mice have at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew Posted September 29, 2021 Author Share Posted September 29, 2021 I cut mine own out. I do not know if the package tray that was in the car when I got it was original. But I believe it was. I looked at how it was done & mimicked that. The holes I cut out line up with the holes in the metal. you have to get the holes for speaker cover screws absolutely perfectly aligned. That was fun.

Dtret Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Put something heavy on the package tray to hold it down and drill up from the trunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I’ve installed a few of these package trays over the years. I make sure the tray is exactly where it needs to be in the car then I try to keep the knife as sharp as possible when cutting and simply follow the shape of the hole in the metal. The holes for the grill studs I drill from underneath with weight on the tray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
