Overview
The Weber 6417 is a factory replacement part from Weber, made from aluminum and priced at $36.79. Weber parts are designed specifically for Weber grills, which removes the fitment uncertainty that comes with aftermarket alternatives. If you own the compatible Weber model, this part will fit correctly.
Aluminum is a common material for certain grill parts because it is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and conducts heat efficiently. At 0.28 pounds it is an exceptionally light part, pointing to a small component like a drip pan, grease tray, or lid stop. That weight makes handling and installation straightforward.
The buyer feedback is among the best in this category. A 4.7-star average from 928 reviews is strong both in quality and in volume. That combination signals consistent satisfaction and puts this part in a comfortable position relative to aftermarket alternatives at a similar price.

Performance notes
The Weber 6417 is made from aluminum and weighs 0.28 pounds. The extremely light weight points to a small accessory-class component such as a drip pan or catch tray rather than a structural heat-bearing part. Aluminum handles outdoor conditions well and will not rust, though it can discolor over time from grease exposure at high temperatures. Being an OEM part, it is engineered to Weber's tolerances for the specific model it serves.
What buyers say
928 reviews at 4.7 stars is one of the stronger combined scores in the grill parts category. The high volume and high rating together suggest that fitment issues are rare and that buyers consistently get a part that works exactly as it should. This is the kind of review profile that reflects a straightforward, reliable replacement rather than a product with a polarized reception.

Frequently asked questions
Which Weber grills is the 6417 compatible with?
The Weber 6417 fits specific models in the Weber lineup. Weber's own compatibility tool and the product listing on the Weber site are the most reliable sources for confirming your model number. Searching your grill's model number alongside 6417 will also surface buyer reviews that confirm or deny a fit for your specific grill.
Is aluminum a good material for a grill replacement part?
Aluminum is a solid choice for grill parts that are not in direct contact with extreme heat over long periods. It is lightweight, does not rust, and is easy to clean. For parts like drip trays, grease catchers, and similar accessories it performs well. For components directly over the flame, cast iron or stainless steel tend to be more durable long-term.
Does it come with installation instructions?
Weber OEM parts typically include fitment instructions or reference the grill's owner manual for installation guidance. The 6417 is a light-duty part that generally installs without tools, but checking the Weber owner manual for your specific grill model will give you the correct steps.
