I don't have my carat anymore but when I had it I loved those trays. I
never used them around town as removing the seats and carrying stuff
always risked cracking them. When we would go on a road trip they'd
always go in place to hold maps, inverters, sunglasses, parking
change, GPS, cables, flashlights right in reach without having to look
around. Worth $50 a pair? Probably only if you were used to having
them and you drive a Carat with jumpseats. The seatback organizer
behind my westy's passenger seat does about the same job (you couldnt
use one of these on a Carat jumpseat anyway) and has the advantage
that you can put lapel pins of all the parks and such that you visit :
