Apply To Rear Of Both Sides

Note: Due to differences in factory tolerances you may need to apply the provided felt tape to theedge of the 99-7507 radio housing to relieve backlight bleed through.

1. Looking at edge of radio housing apply felt tape to inner edge (toward back of kit). If it is posi-tioned to closely to the outer edge you may be able to see it once it is in the dash.
