This is an authentic OEM sourced replacement part designed for use with Weber grills. These rails are used to hold the grease/drip funnel tray to the underside of the grill so you can slide the tray in and out for easy cleaning. This set includes two (2) aluminum bottom tray rails with four (4) screws used to mount rails. To complete this repair you will need a screwdriver.

Simple part, easy installation
The bottom tray rail assembly arrived in good condition and soon after I placed the order. It came with new screws so damaging the old screws to remove them didn't matter. Everything fit as it was supposed to.

Perfect replacement for rusted out rails. The new ones are aluminum, so they should last.

The old rails were made of carbon steel. The new rails are made of aluminum. The pre-drilled holes and supplied screws were a perfect fit. The most difficult part was removing the old screws. One was removed with a nut driver the others were gripped with channel locks and removed. I sprayed krol penetrating oil on the screws and allo

Prior to installing the new screws, I applied never seize to them. This should eliminate the corrosion issue should they need to be replaced in the future.

Bottom tray rails and screws were completely rusted.
Sprayed screws with WD40 & let it sit for a week. The rails & screws were rusted in place so bad I had to use vice grips to get them out. When I finally got a grip on the screws I worked them back and forth with the vice grips and they finally loosened up enough to back them out. This grill is 20 years old so I expected to spend more time

Soaked the rusted screws with WD-40 a few times, then I was able to remove them. Once I had the rails removed, I cleaned up all around the area. Then simply installed the new ones.

Original bottom tray rails had deteriorated so much that they no longer could support the tray.
Simply squirted some W-D 40 on the original screws that held the rails in place. Used a small socket to break them free and backed them out. Replaced the rails with what I ordered and rehung the tray. Done deal!
Replacement rails were a bit lighter grade than the original, Excellent price, very nice young customer servic

Bought this Weber Genesis 1000 new in the Spring of 1996. Once a year I disassemble, clean and repair/replace parts that have gone bad. This has included the igniter, flavorizer bars, grill cooking surface, opening handle and (three times) all wood parts on flat table surfaces.

But no, new tray rails from eReplacementParts solved the problem in less than 15 minutes. Remove four hex-head screws and the remaining parts of the old rails, insert new rails with enclosed four new screws. Done. After a good cleaning, some repainting and a coat of wax for the hood, my Weber looks like new...and works that way too. Twenty years down, hopefully 20 more to go,

Tray rails finally fell off after 20 years and flavorizor bar had worn out
1. Remove interior grill parts (flavorizer bars and grates) and lay grill down on its back.
2. Spray PB Blaster or similar rust breaking spray on the four rusted screws supporting the old rusted out rails
3. Wait for PB Blaster to penetrate (15 minutes was adequate in this case).
4. Carefully remove the four rusted screw

5. Clean the screw holes with more rust remover or PB Blaster.
6. Mount the replacement rails using the four new screws provided.
7. Tighten screws with a 5/8\" nut driver. Do not use a 5/8\" socket since the use of a socket may result in over tightening these screws.
8. Wipe off excess rust remover with disposable towels.
9. Move the grill upright and reassemble interior parts (flavorizer bars and grates).
10. Admire your work ... These new rails should last another twenty years.
1) Sprayed in the old nuts with penetrating oil and let set for a day.
2) Removed the bottom tray and then used the visegrips to grab hold of an old set screw. Then rotated to remove the screw.
3) After all set screws were removed, put a little anti-seize compound on the new set screws. Started the new screws with a nut d

4) Finished. The rails were a perfect fit for the Weber Genesis 1000 purchased in the mid 1990\'s. Yep, figure I have another 5 years on the grill before I breakdown for a new one.
After soaking the bolts with penetrating oil for a week and applying heat I was unsuccessful extracting the bolts. I used a dremel and cut the heads off, I used a center punch to stake the middle of the bolts, I drilled a pilot hole using a 1/8GÇ¥ drill bit all the way through the firebox and followed up drilling with a 1/4GÇ¥ bit.

Note: use quality drill bits
Note: drilling all the way through the firebox does not cause any interference problems
