Ditto for me, it's really bad.





Does reusing the factory clips really fix this? I'll give it a try, but that's not my only issue with this kit.

I, too, had the recirc sticker fall off on me within 2 minutes of pulling it out of the package. I pressed it back on as best I could, but I don't see it staying on there for very long without some extra glue or something.

Also, the sockets for the ac/defrost button and the passenger airbag light are too big. As is, the stock buttons would rattle around inside the faceplate, making an extremely annoying racket while driving. I "fixed" it by wrapping them in electrical tape so they fit more snugly.

And lastly, the kit didn't come with hardware that fit the screw holes in the front faceplate - the front 4 that hold the stereo on. So I reused the ones from the factory stereo . . . and whaddya know, they're too long, and they visibly dimpled out the plastic in the 4 corners surrounding the unit. You can see the top right bump in my pictures. They don't look terrible since they're all symmetrical & the same size, but seriously . . . wtf.

Overall, I'm NOT impressed with this thing. Probably gonna get a Metra.
