Bezel around HU keeps popping loose

Post by orbix »

Ok, so ever since I first put in an aftermarket HU, I've had an issue with the lower right corner of the bezel popping loose. I've since then swapped the factory HU back in, and it's still happening, so it's not a poorly fitted HU that's the issue... I've even swapped the clips around on the bezel in case that one was loose, and that hasn't helped at all.Anyone have any ideas?

nope. on mine the lower left seems to pop out a bit, but it's not too noticeable, so I ignore it. I assumed it was som wear on the clips from me pulling the thing out so often

Same issue here. Been "repaired" twice by the dealer, and still, the lower RH corer sticks out 1/4". I haven't had the time to pull it off and sidewalk engineer a solution. When I do, I'll post it here.

Took a look at mine when I got home and solved the problem. Work the bezel loose all the way around without removing it. This will give you about 3/4" of play. Take masking tape and wrap the prong on the bezel and re-insert into the hole in the dash. Problem solved.
