I just bought a 1992 Crown Vic with an audio problem.

I tried to remove the radio and got as far as removing the woodgrain molding
and the cover. After that there is no way to get any further. The faceplate
of the radio has 4 very small holes, one in each corner. Do anyone out there
know, A) What to do next. Or B) where I can get instructions on how to
remove it.

Any help would be greatly appreacheated

Thanks in advance

Bill

Cut a coathanger to form 2 u-shaped *keys*.

You can use those in the holes to pull the radio out of the dashboard.

Last time I did this, the coat hangar trick worked well. You have to use a
coat hangar with a fairly thick wire to get this to work.
