Flip-up Tray Rattle Fix
Photos and text by Chuck Konarske

I thought I had it fixed once, but the folding table was a big source of rattles, especially on sharp bumps. This fix eliminated several noises I didn't know were coming from the tray.

trayfix3.jpg (45718 bytes) Remove these three nuts to remove tray from the passenger seat. I took the pics with the tray installed, but you need to remove it to do the mods.

trayfix5.jpg (38580 bytes) The lower left arrow is wrong here. The others point to the parts that need to be bent tighter.
trayfix6.jpg (28007 bytes) A better view.
trayfix7.jpg (21908 bytes) Remove the e-ring and the shaft in all four joints.
trayfix8.jpg (15685 bytes) After taking them apart, bend the sides in for a tight fit. It should be a little hard to reassemble.
trayfix9.jpg (29993 bytes) I didn't take this one apart, but was able to quiet it anyway.
trayfix10.jpg (43162 bytes) These two also need the same treatment, for a total of four pivot points to be tightened and greased.
