The ears will not not touching anything that they should not be touching if the ash tray case is carefully cut just behind the right hand ear and the ear trimmed a little. The case will then pass beside the right hand ear.The case hits the ash tray assembly just after the right hand ear and that is why it has to be sawed off at that point.
The weight of the unit will be carried by the top shelf of the single DIN opening. The case of the unit will be screwed to the top shelf and the unit slid into the case and locking itself in place in the usual manner requiring the keys provided to unlock the latches.
Two U-speed nuts will clip to the rear of the shelf for two screws, and two screws at the front will hold the case in place of the case. These nuts will be bonded to the top face of the shelf.
