« on: January 30, 2008, 11:12:20 pm »
Well Broke another bezel....I brake it every time i have to work on my dash...Just wanting to no..For those who installed a cd player in there truck...What did u use for support? Cus the bezel just dont get it...I thought about the pipe strap method...But looking for some real good support....To take all the wait off the bezel ...Them things run me 35-50 bucks a piece This time i got lucky and got one with the silver face on it for only 35...Dont wanna brake it

Should be a screw in the back, I used a modified version of the orignal support and bolted to it...

I've never had a need for rear support..all the weight is supported on the metal behind the dash with the DIN sleeves I've used..

i thought about using the original, but then realized that the radio does support itself enough to not need anything. unless your running a flip-up screen or something that weighs more.

Even with a flip up screen theres no need for rear support if you use a good sleeve..Mine has 4 tabs on the bottom, 4 tabs on the top, and a tab on each side that bends behind the metal on the dash, theres zero weight on the bezel.
