The new metal tables will fit on any performer that has a plastic table. The first time I called and tried to order one the lady told me it wouldn't fit on the older performers and they weren't selling them individually. I called back a few days later and just told the guy I wanted to order part #65189. He looked it up sold it to me with no questions asked. I feel like you just need to get the right person on the phone.

This is fantastic!  Thanks for the post, I'm going to order one this weekend.

Does the new metal table ship with the black bolts to attach it to the frame? @gunner

Guessing that dealing with Weber is cheaper if not faster.
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

@Easy , the newer metal tables fit perfect and you do not need to drill new holes...see this thread below..

The new table fits fine. The way the customer service person sounded, it seemed like it's deeper in the notes than they expect "That won't fit on the older grills...Oh, it looks like I'm reading here that it actually DOES fit." I don't think the customer service reps are used to swapping parts like that so those who say it does not are just assuming because typically they won't.

However, the lid bail does NOT fit and I couldn't get them to send it to me. The table fit great!

Gunner excuse me I was replying about installing the new bale for the lid. That requires drilling .

Thanks for your help. One last question, do I need a new bin chain and screw or will the old one work.   

Thanks again.

Gunner, thanks for your help. 

Will the old bin chain set up work or do I have to order a new one?
