Remove tray cover. Trim away corner of swivel base for drivers seat so that
seat can still turn without hitting the battery (you trim the right rear
corner off the seat with a sawzall or similar device). Spray paint sawed
edge of seat swivel base with black paint. Hammer narrow mounting strip for
tray cover into the upright position against the woodwork to the rear. 

Optional: buy a pie tin to put over the battery, cut front edge of tin if
needed, and coat with same color grey rug material.
