Installing Rear Food Tray

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Accessory kit

The food tray holder is located at the rear of the center console, just below the air vents, and is simply snap-fitted; it is a particularly complex system made of springs and plastic gears that allow the tray to open and close with a simple touch, but at the same time, it is also quite delicate and can be easily damaged; to replace it, simply pull out the entire device by prying along the edges to remove it from its slot and insert the new one by pressing it until it snaps into place.
