'02 Explorer 4 dr - how to remove radio

There are 2 screws on the bottom of the radio. And you have to remove the trim peice to get to them. I watched them put my radio back in and the guy just pulled the trim peice out. Of course it was easy cause the radio wasn't there so he had an easy way to grab it.

Bill:

The whole plate around the radio and heater controls comes off. You simply pry it out and it will come. I was a little afraid the first time I took mine off. I used a screwdriver at the bottom of the plate not to create any dents in the vinyl. pry a little at numerous locations. Once that's off you will see the bolts that hold the radio in.

Hey Bill,

This write-up I did should help...

Great write up and pictures. Looks like a lot more trouble on the new ones then just sticking the metal fingers in the old style and pulling them out.

-- Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts:

"What, sir, is the use of militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty. . . Whenever Government means to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise a standing army upon its ruins." -- Debate, U.S. House of Representatives, August 17, 1789

Wow, Mike, that's great! Thanks much! I've bookmarked your site.
