i have an after market radio/cd player but it is too long for the compartment in my 99 gls to fit.. how do i get it in there cause the adapter dash thing i got didnt work... anybody have the specific thing i need?

[cherrington17]

yeah. take a pair of your favorite cutters to the back of the plastic retainer, for the stock unit.

that damn stuff gets in the way, for everyone's aftermarket h.u

So the head unit is too wide for the opening? I have dealt with this many times...unfortunately it was on vagina.

Seriously tho. The only think you are gonna be able to do is to either custom fit a bracket to the area but 1st dremel out the opening further.

You fail at fun :lol:


I know most people would say its too long but what the hell is it holding. Laser disc?

[worknprog.99]

so the only way is to cut the back part of the car part to make it fit?

Get a cutter and have at it!

I had to cut that vertical metal piece out thats welded to the bar.

While your at it get rid of a lot of that plastic in there. its useless.

[cherrington17]

i left the metal piece.. its not in the way for mine.

but all the plastic is gone.

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

use a Dremel with a cutter bit if you have access to one, that's what I used but be extremely careful around any wires.

[Misuseofyou]

Ditto.

[worknprog.99]

and alas one more idiot thing about gm lol

[cherrington17]

stop counting... you'll hurt yourself.

[worknprog.99]

:haha: :haha: :haha:
lol true ....
but will cutting out the black plastic effect the factory radio ever going back in?

[cherrington17]

it might.

but there are those 4 screws that hold it in place... so i'm gonna say no.

[Ryan from Ohio]

Nope... Its just a nice warm plastic pocket to trap the heat and kill radio's.

[worknprog.99]

what holds in the back of the radio then? lol

[cherrington17]

why does something need to hold the back of the radio?

[worknprog.99]

why does something need to hold the back of the radio?

wouldnt it bounce when you hit bumps since its basically just suspended in the back since the screws are in the front?

[Ryan from Ohio]

Thats the whole point.

If you wount it to solid then the radio will feel every bump/vibration the car has.
