How To Reinstall The Stereo?

[maomao996]

it seems there are two clips inside the slot that's preventing the stereo unit from being pushed directly back in. Do I need to remove the A/C control unit first before I can reinstall the head unit? Or isthere some kind of trick?

Thanks.

Have you removed the radio removal keys first?

$6.00 plus $5.50 S&H = $11.50

these are $1.80 from Becker North America

No way would I pay $11.50 or buy it now for a dollar more. Plus, I do not think it is the racing version since there is no picture

In my younger days they said you can get it out with a shirt collar stay. Or, a nail file. Both modified.

I think your talking about the two guide clips way back in the slot.

If it is these then your head unit will slip back most of the way then it

hits a dead stop on these two clips.

The best way to get around this is to take off the A/C control unit,

flip the surround carefully with a butter knife, then undo the two screws

holding the A/C unit. It will simply slip out. From there you can get to your radio to help it back in the slot. I have found sometimes that some cables can get lodged in them clips. Be aware of this.

Oh, and BTW, the tool that everyone is mentioning here is to "remove" your radio. I guess you already done that to get into this situation. So you don;t need them ;)
