Hoy hoy all,

I’m currently trying to correct the hack job the PO of my coupe made of the dash bezel. I had to buy another cut bezel to have something that when done, will look somewhat professional.

The panel that was in the car has provided me with a good place to start as far as how I am going to mount one of these DIN style AM/FM CD players. In cleaning up the PO’s cuts, I have a good idea how to mount one of these units.

I had searched all over to find some way to blend in these units because of the angle of the dash. The face of these units of course must rest perpendicular to the floor of the car, like the factory radios did. That leaves the unsightly frame of the CD player exposed along the bottom and sides.

My solution to this problem was an adaptor purchased from Crutchfield. The deepest one I could find is part # CGM390M. It’s an adaptor for ’95 & up Chevy Caprice. I’ll have pics of the some of the steps taken to accomplish the task at hand at a later time.

Now back to the subject of this post. The dash bezel is secured in place by four screws at the top. I am having no luck in finding the fasteners that these screws go into, and I’d like to know what others have found to solve the problem.







The fasteners used are nylon press in, about an inch long and a quarter inch wide. They have a slit in the center to receive the screw. I have had no luck in finding a part # or something close to these fasteners. I’m still not giving up the hunt though.

I’m going to need four of these so I can mount the bezel as before. I’d also like to get some more for the convertible when I tear into the dash to correct and replace some parts behind this one.

All suggestions are welcome. So for now

Tom
