Updated with warning notice posted by @flip to not drill too deep.

Ford Bronco PSA - Warning on tailgate table install: don't drill too deep 1628704308770-




I noticed this at a Florida dealer. It appears that the screws may be a bit long on the tailgate table install.

Oh man, you're the second person this happened to. We need a sticky for this issue.

If the Dealer installed it, hold them responsible. If not...hold the Manufacturer of the table responsible. It's their design and I will presume they provided the screw size.

WOW! I was just looking at the catalog a couple days ago after seeing the Bronco 6g Discount post. Had the table in my cart and decided against it because I wanted to hear real world feedback before forking out the money and dealing with a janky product. Glad I am waiting.
Step 1- Get Bronco
Step 2- Continue watching people tinker with their Bronco and report back issues or mistakes to avoid.
Step 3- Having learned from other's screwups, proceed to make my own.

very good to know, thats something I can easily fix with a dremel or grinder. just trim the screw down.

I already have the table... missing the bronco.

Also, just as a note.. this table rattles like a son of a gun. I test drove a Wildtrak with it installed and it was distractingly loud.

You’ll need to add some rubber bump stops to keep the metal on metal contact down.

The screw problem.. I personally would just add a washer or two just to be safe when mounting. This is a low load item so that should be plenty of engagement of the threads still.

I have the table sitting in my garage - but still no Bronco (built July 16th).
The instructions provided are AWFUL. I’m not surprised someone f’d it up. Someone needs to do a video on the install process!
