I wouldn't be surprised if those particleboard radio trays were failing in the field in areas that maybe had rougher roads or the cars were used on rural dirt roads, etc. more often than say metro units that saw mainly freeway use. The holes for Rich's third support don't match those in Jacks car which makes me believe those might all have been field modifications. Like you said, that happens all the time.
