The fit of a Q-Form

[Greg Frasier]

I've heard that the Q-Form kick panel pods
don't fit well in a 1997 explorer. Mine should be here by Monday but the suspense is
killig me. Does anyone have any knowlege of this?
Any help would be appreciated.

I 've about those! the only thing that would make you nervious is the parking break. Heard something about that you migh t have to modify it in some way. Am sure it will fit, since its plastic and always use some sort of tacking or adhesive to make it fit just right...like the old Pep Boys commercial. Let me know how everything goes. Am anxious about getting a custom DIN for mine, since I want to put my Alpine CD player and a spectrum EQ. right below that.

The parking brake will be a problem if it is left as is. I installed a set in my 96 Explorer I had and the brake did hit. All you need to do is bend the pedal a little bit. I took some pliers and bent it out of the way. It worked great after that. The instructions mention some other way, but it wasn't real helpful.

Thanks to the both of you. I'm certain I can handle the p-break, I was more concerned that they wouldn't fit the contour or something I couldn't control. I'll let you know how I made out.

Hey Greg,
Hope your Q-form kick panel install went well. I have a question for you, or anyone else that has installed these kick panels:
1) How did you bend the parking break out of the way?
2) What tools did you use (if any) to bend the parking break?
Thanks.
