Deck question?
Hey guys I've been having a ton of trouble finding a deck template for my radio that fits just right in my alero. I can't seem to fit the radio in there just right. Any tips?
Edit: will post pictures later. |
Where in wi are you?
|

Edit: Jump on 53 North in Eau Claire and there I am. Since your right under Eau Claire. |

|
Well shit come visit today lol!
|
Did you cut the back out? I had to cut some of the plastic in the back when I put in my first head unit.
|
Gotta work today
|
What do you mean cut the plastic out?
|
There is a plastic brace in the back, and from what I understand inorder to fit aftermarket head units in these cars you have to remove enough so that it fits...on my first unit I had to cut a chunk out so that the radio would sit back far enough to put the screws in.

I really can't tell if the OP is referring to the front or back of an aftermarket head unit. |
Perhaps you can post a picture as to what your talking about? It would help me very much because its a bitch to get a radio in, let alone to get it in to where it looks nice.

No i know what you mean about the plastic brace. It held the factory radio up. You cut that out you can get radio in more so it fits right.
|
Notice on either side that support bar is cut
|
Dash kit is the Metra part 99-2003. Buy it at best buy for $20, or online, or whatever.
And like they said, yes, there will be excess plastic behind the radio, that will hamper you from putting it in all the way. Get a dremel or whatever and cut the pocket bigger until you can slide the whole deal in. |
Dumb question -
does a double-DIN deck like the following fit? http://www.crutchfield.com/p_105KWXR...0.html?tp=5684 |
Thanks Jdubs for clarifying that. It was exactly what I was talking about. I wonder what the easiest way would be to take that out.

This is what it looks like IF you don't cut out that plastic piece in the back after installing it. (FYI this isnt a picture of me lol..) Thank you loonie :)!!! |
Ouch, looks like you cracked the fascia on the right?
