Those with RNS-E, have you or anyone for the matter came up with great idea for....

Imola Ghost · 12-01-2005, 05:34 PM

filling the little gap/space on the left/right side of the RNS-E?

I've been thinking and have had a couple ideas but they don't really sound like it would look good.

An idea I was some door edge molding cut to size? But even that doesn't really sound that great. So lets hear what you got. Maybe if we brainstorm out loud about this maybe we can figure something out.

taking measurements of them both to create a diagram for a plastic fabricater to use. Probably the best idea, but I'm sure it would involve lots of $$$. Not to mention, personally the gaps don't really bother me.

Needed to do a little pulling. The radio was stuck in the dash, so I pulled the sides until the 4 plastic screw holders snapped, and the faceplate snapped off (plugs into rest of radio w/2 connectors).

You need to remove and disconnect the screen for one.
