Since the other thread is about a SS performer, I thought I would make a thread about the 2015 Lid Bale on my 13 Performer Platinum.
I went to True Value during my lunch break to take some measurements of the bowl holes before buying the parts from Weber.
While I was there an older gentleman was purchasing a black performer premium to compliment his BGE. He mentioned he wished they came in green. As luck would have it, I had a like new spare green bowl and lid that I just cleaned and pulled off of my performer. I asked if he was willing to trade. He thought about it and said yes, as long as I put his performer together for him. I was smiling ear to ear. I mentioned that the Lid Bale on the new performers are different than the one on my green kettle and don't open as wide. He was fine with it. I took the rest of the day off and assembled his grill.
Once I got home I assembled the Lid Bale on my 13 platinum.

Proper installation of Lid Bale
Note that the Lid Bale wire is not perfectly horizontal anymore.
While I was at it, I installed the metal table I bought a few weeks ago.
New(extremely thin) cover.

I'm happy with the results. Thank you to
