This is a trim piece to cover the frequently hacked up radio hole on the 1984-1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ and 1986-1992 Jeep Comanche MJ. There are 2 versions to match the 2 styles of black dash trim. There is a smooth one for the basic smooth dash and a textured version that includes the bevel around the outside of the hole to match the fancier dash. Please select which version you would like, you will get 1 trim piece per order. These can be painted as well if the plain black isn’t your style! Just use a good plastic paint and primer.
INSTALLATION:
1. Check the hole in your dash trim for any factory lines from the original radio hole. Use these to align the new repair trim in the correct location. The radio itself can work for alignment but it may not be perfectly centered so be sure to check this.
2. Test fit the repair trim to be sure it fits around the radio and practice getting into the position you like.
3. Do any fine sanding or trimming needed to the inside to fit your trim/radio.
4. Once happy with the fitment, put a little CA (cyanoacrylate) AKA super glue, or any other form of plastics glue you prefer on the back side of the repair trim. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY!! You want just enough to make it stay, don’t put so much it squishes out around the edges.
5. Carefully put the repair trim into place and hold in place until the glue dries.
TIPS: You can take the dash trim out completely if you prefer, this would make gluing and clamping easier potentially. This would also allow you to glue from the backside to ensure a nice and strong fit.
