Maruti Suzuki Alto LX: Nearing 40k Kms

Rattling from parcel tray: This is the issue which I have failed to resolved. The 550W Kenwood speakers at the rear are a bit heavy due to which the tray has literally been hanging on the hooks. I was thinking of getting enclosures but i am not sure how they are fixed to the boot. Any pointers![[roll]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Roll.gif "Roll Eyes [roll]")

Thanks Rakesh. No specific formula for that FE. On highways with 2 people on board, I usually floor the pedal and my normal cruising speed is 90-100kmph.
I am currently using the wooden one. However earlier, I was using the MGA fiber one, but it too died pretty young. Furthermore, are you talking about those MGA trays.
What type of tray are you using now? Wooden or fiber? A good MDF Tray with 1inch thickness and fixing curtain rails under it will prevent it from hanging or now a days,fiber parcel trays with reinforcing is available for nearly 1k.

No,I meant aftermarket non OEM ones.
Even I am against installation of Bull bars, however, I would be install it only if I do not find a suitably stong brackets for Hella lamps installation.
Awesome shots. They are really scenic. ![[thumbsup]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Thumbs%20Up.png "Thumbs Up [thumbsup]")

Akash, shot from co-driver's seat is absolutely superb! Yes, I second Vibhor. Please stay away from bull bar, it also hampers the elegant look of your snowwhite.

I am updating this thread after quite long. The car is running fine. It has clocked 39k kms and is soon going to cross the 40k km mark.
The running repairs during the last 5k kms included:
Here are recent pics of my interstate drive last month.
Thanks AppU. Apologies for the late reply.
.The running repairs during the last 5k kms included:
- Oil change
- Filter replacement
- Underbody checks/tightening
- The steering rack job was redone since the noise cropped up again. It hasn't come up again [touchwood].
- Windshield replaced: It had good number of scratches on it which led to excessive scattering of light which made night driving a tedious as well as risky job. The job was taken care by insurance company.
- AC repairs: The gas leakage occurred due to breakage of pipe (thanks to me, On jharkhand roads, i drove Alto as if i was driving an SUV). Damage to the pocket: 4500 bucks only

Nice pic's. Next time if you face issues with steering rack you can try to get PS installed.
