I recently bought and assembled a Weber Summit Charcoal Grilling Center. Before doing so, I read the comments and saw the photos of how the in/out of the charcoal bin scratches the painted metal surface. Knowing that this would absolutely drive me nuts, I went to TAP Plastics and had them fabricate a piece of black textured ABS plastic to protect the surface.
The piece measures 18-1/2" long x 22-3/4" wide with 1-1/2" squares removed from two corners at one end to accommodate the vertical frame pieces. The plastic is held in place by the flanges sticking up out of the metal surface and the two vertical frame pieces. The plastic extends all the way to the edge of the frame on the front, back, and right side.
Cost was $13 for material, $26 for labor which included cutting to size and routing the edges.
