June 12, 20178 yr Sorry to ask. I've actually done this stuff before which makes it even harder to ask. Blame it on the heat. I just couldn't suffer anymore and figured I'd give the USMB a try. So , I clearly see the two screws atop of the faceplate where the cup holder is. What else is holding that faceplate on ? In calmer times I would have it done. But it's super hot up here and no a/c and no real shade either so I bailed out. Forgive me !! Lol This unit in the car has the stash pocket below the radio. The one going in is the same style. All I need is a refresher on where those other Phillip screws are. Pulled the ashtray - saw nothing there. I saw one way deep in the back , centered. I took it out and naturally it fell down inside there. Got frustrated and packed it up with much sweat on the brow. Stay cool , and thanks for any help.
June 12, 20178 yr Howdy, Pull out the ashtray, get down under the steering wheel and look UP @ the two screws inside the upper lip (?) of the ash tray bracket..Voila! You'll need a stubby or right-angle phillips to get @ those two. Td
June 13, 20178 yr Author Ahh , thought I remember using a right angle Phillips. Can also remember struggling but getting them with a stubby Phillips. Back in the Loyale days. Thanks ! One thing though. I could swear when I looked in there I saw Four Phillip screws to the ceiling of that compartment. That got me scared. Lol I'll find out when the heat moves on if those two rear screws go thru the faceplate , but I tend to think not. Getting old ! Damn .... Edited June 13, 20178 yr by moosens
June 13, 20178 yr There's only two going up from the ashtray mounting rail. One more in the back center, but it's straight in and the tab it holds is notched. Loosen it and the ashtray track slips up off it.
