hatch tool tray

[michaljerzy86]

so i've asked a few people and they said their hatch came stock with a tool tray under the carpet in the back, above the spare.........mine came with a styrofoam mold to hold the tools..
so my ultimate question is, is the tool tray stock on the hatch!?

[kevcol74]

Yes, mine is plastic, not styrofaom.... and dirty... :chuckle

Edit : well, up to 09 it was standard I believe... not sure about 2010!!

I'm thinking they've gone to the styrofoam mold to save money. It was stock in all Mazda3 hatch models as far as I remember.

what a bloody ripoff :complain

i was looking forward to using the tray as a place to put my amp

I miss mine :(

For some reason the MS3 doesn't have this feature and all we get is a piece of carpeted cardboard to cover our spare.

I don't get why and would love to see if it would still fit in there.

not only to save cost, but I am pretty sure it was to keep the trunk space and accommodate updated suspension.

that explanation makes me happier

I'm going to try to find someone close by with a hatch and see if it will fit in there.

If it does fit, anyone out there willing to trade me a tray for my carpeted piece of cardboard?

It's from a Speed 3 so it will probably make a regular 3 faster or handle better or something. :chuckle

[kevcol74]

Is your spare tire bigger in the Speed3? That might be why for them....

amp in the tray? :hawt .... not a bad idea ... but will there be enough air circulation in there?

The speed3 spare is full diameter or close anyways, but not a true 'full size' This change was needed to compensate for the larger brakes, I've been told.

I think due to this change, they could not place a tray in the SP3....just not enough room!

I've been running 2 amps in the tray, covered and hidden for 3 years now with no over-heating issues whatsoever!!.I also have my cap under the smaller tray! Check out my album for pics :)

^ I thought I saw that somewhere! lol

That's a nice clean set up flagrum ... Did u screw the amps to the tray? Is that tray carpeted? Does it come like that or did u add the carpet? And I'm guessing all the wiring is in the trays or underneath? ... Also does anyone know if there's a 12volt cigerette lighter thing in the trunk?

[mazdas3sporte]

mines plastic as well, not that I ever use it , matter of fact i have probebly opend my truck less than 10 times within the last year

Yup!! amps are bolted with lock washers onto the tray, and 2x 1" holes and a 1" slot cut thru for the cables.Cables are bound underneath so nothing shifts or hangs, with just enough slack for removal of the tray.The carpet was an add-on for the clean look.

In my '05 there is no 12 volt outlet back there, as far as I know....All power cables were channeled up one side of the car.
