Looking for help removing the V-shaped metal brace for the rear of an OEM single DIN radio. How is it attached to the underside of the dash? _________________ “Most everyone’s mad here. You may have noticed I am not quite all there myself.” — Cheshire Cat, Adventures of Alice in Wonderland

Well, not much help there for a later-model dash. Think I will try to view the underside using a mechanic’s mirror. _________________ “Most everyone’s mad here. You may have noticed I am not quite all there myself.” — Cheshire Cat, Adventures of Alice in Wonderland

On my '85 and my '90 I bent it repeatedly to fatigue and removed it. Crude but effective. If you want to do this cleanly it may be a good opportunity to remove the dash and do the under-the-dash projects (still on my to-do list). _________________ - Jim

Thanks. This is how I removed it. Dash removal is a bit too daunting unless other repairs under there become necessary. _________________ “Most everyone’s mad here. You may have noticed I am not quite all there myself.” — Cheshire Cat, Adventures of Alice in Wonderland
