My new radio bezel, check it out

[NHRARanger2110]

So a while ago i decided to be a dumbass and paint my radio bezel to match my truck, huge mistake. I finally found one out of a 4x4 explorer that is practically brand new. The only problem is my truck is a 4x2. So i had to mod the switches and buttons. I glued a a/c knob as the 4x4 switch, i glued the rear windshield washer button in the off position and for the other two holes i took a piece of black sheetmetal and glued it in to cover the holes. They wanted extra for each switch so i improvised. Tell me what ya think!

Looks good, the extra spots might end up being good places to ad switches for fog lights etc down the road...

X2 and looks good to me!

I agree... all those nice spots for extra uses.... it's just as easy to glue new names for what the switches do as it is to glue them.

though I don't understand why you would glue them so they won't move... if they aren't hooked up it shouldn't matter if they move or not right???

thanks yall! The reason i glued them is because the rear wiper button stays in place when the entire relay is in. On the back side, so in order to get it cheaper i took the whole relay out and just kept the button. Thanks again for the compliments

I think you should relabel the wiper button with a tag that says "EJECT".

Since we are talking about Bezels here, can someone tell me what the switch on this bezel is for? The one that says "push to vent".

I am assuming it is for a rear window?

Out of a Sportrac? They had a power rear window.

What about replacing the wiper button with a 12V plug?

 

[irishblessing]

and to replace those you have to disconnect the stereo right cause they just dont slide out i need a new one where did you guys find yours

yeaa under the radio there are two screws that come out, then it just pops out with some force. It is held in by 4 clips and the 2 screws. You need to disconnect the radio which isnt bad, its the antenna, and 2 clips of wires. One is for your speakers and one is for the power and what not. They just snap in and out. Its very easy. And it took me a while to find one as good as this one. There are many types, some are plain with just a 12v some have mane options like this one. The one thing i realized is that there is a rubber-like coating on the outside making it impossible to sand, well nearly impossible. You just gotta keep looking for them, good luck!
