Based on that picture, I think you're missing one of the medium screws that goes in the end piece, that holds everything together.

Hahaha. I can guarantee those Swedish bast@&$ on the assembly line throw a few extra pieces in some times just to screw with the end user. You get the thing together and look down and theres always a couple random screws or dowels left. The you sit there forever trying to figure out what piece is going to fall off or disintegrate when you start to use it ...lol.

I like the dowels comment...

I'm betting you put one of the floor board sides on in the wrong direction, and one side of the car will be longer than the other... :lol:

Glad you won't need directions because most ikea instructions have pictures only. If you are successful you can post a DIY
