The local dealer quoted me 1200 to replace the trays. They said the top has to be removed and the trays were 130 each.

If you're inclined to consider replacing the trays yourself, understand that removing the top may sound daunting but in fact, will take you less than an hour. There are lots of good instructions online but overall, you are looking at putting your top in the service position, disconnecting the arms and undoing three bolts and one or two screws from each side. The whole top will lift out of place.

I would check with Sunset or Suncoast first -- It's been ~8 years -- but I remember them being ~$20.


Just looked up Sonnen they want $140 each -- wow -- I don't remember them being that pricey.
