Hi folks,
A bit of silly question here, but I have a 1997 Honda Civic EX with the stock radio. The lights on the radio died (the lights behind the presets), so I followed directions I found on the internet (installdr.com) to get the radio out. I tried fixing the lights, and now I'm putting the radio back in and I can't figure out 2 pieces of the radio.
These are two pieces related to putting the radio back together, not necessarily putting it back into the dash.
The first piece is a silver L-bracket that goes in the back of the radio. I think this is so you can attach it to the frame of the car's dash so you can't just pull out the radio. I can't figure out which way it goes on. Anyone got any pics? That's the last time I work without taking pics first.
The other piece is a rubber piece that's about the same size as the L-bracket. I can't tell if it gets attached to the radio, and then you close up the radio; or if you're supposed to close up the radio first.
I've attached two images from those directions. One is what my radio/dash looks like, and the other is a picture of the L-bracket...I just can't tell from that picture how to get it back on there.
