Maybe being too tight is causing it to bow.


It's not too apparent in the pictures, but when I try to snap on the bottom A/C coverplate, there's a 1/8 gap on the front.
I had the same problem when I was reassembling my head unit. I tried more torque, less torque but I couldn't get the alignment back to perfect on the ac cover at the bottom.
I finally realized that I had used the wrong screws for the radio (the two that are way up high inside and its easier to use a socket wrench to get them). I had used the two screws from the glove compartment. They look very similar, but the length on them is slightly different, so I would double check that because they are interchangeable.
When I switched those screws the alignment problem was taken care of.
