Hello Fellow Explorers... and a Question

[Pirate]

Just bought my first Explorer yesterday... White 98 Limited ... sweeet.. Damn good looking vehicle and purrs like Cameron Diaz on 'ludes..

I do have a question... a minor one. The guy that owned it before me was a traveling salesman and he installed some sort of phone holder on the dash that MUST go. It extends out from the center, lower dash area. So far I can NOT figure out how to remove the plastic reattangular ring that surrounds the radio/AC/ CD area in order to remove his bracket. I see TWO screws down low, but I removed them and this plastic ring piece stills seems unmovable..

I don't want to risk breaking the damn thing by prying and my only alternatives seem to be to take it to a dealer with astroglide in hand or take it to a Hi-Fi Install shop and let them pull the piece.

1. After removing the 2 screws... how does this rectangular piece come off?
2... or should I take it to a pro to remove it?

Opinions for a newbie?

TIA all..

try asking that question in one of the other rooms, like general explorations, more people will probably get a look at it.....

Welcome to the site

General Explorations or Explorer audio would get more hits....

If I am understanding you, you want to remove the radio bezel.
Two screws ( 7mm ) just below the climnate control area.
Remove those and then bit by bit just pull the bezel off.

Tell me, what exactaly does Cameron Diaz on ludes sound like ?
