just take off bezel
cut off the two insert pins on the sides
put it back on
done

problem is the mold for the insert pins is to thick to go into the hole on the mounting cage

I've got a couple of files that talk about adjusting the radio bezel to eliminate a gap between it and the dash. Pics are included. If you'd like a copy, PM me your e-mail address.

Just got my leather covered DD bezel back from Dennis with these pins removed. Fits perfectly, whereas the old one had the gap in the upper right corner. I was able to adjust the old one a bit to get it closer, but was never satisfied with it.
